We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Are health care proxies state specific?

Most states will honor a Health Care Proxy from another state. However, if you are a frequent visitor to a certain state, you may want to consider having a Health Care Proxy or another similar document from that state, because not all states have specific legal provisions related to out-of-state directives.

What is an advance directive acknowledgement?

An Advance Directive (also known as an Advance Health Care Directive) is a way to make your healthcare wishes known if you are unable to speak for yourself or prefer someone else to speak for you.

Does VA advance directive need to be notarized?

This VA Advance Directive form is valid in VA facilities without being notarized. However, you may need to have it notarized to be legally binding outside the VA health care setting.

Is every state required to recognize an AHD regardless of where it was written?

Because the purpose of a health care power of attorney is different from that of an advance directive, a health care agent usually do not have the authority to change or revoke the advance directives of the person they represent.

What happens if a new AHD is written?

An advance directive remains in effect until you change it. If you complete a new advance directive, it invalidates the previous one. You should review your advance directives periodically to ensure that they still reflect your wishes.

Is every state required to recognize an AHD regardless of where it is written?

Many states will accept an AHD that was created in another state, particularly if the laws governing advance directives in both states are similar. However, it is crucial to understand that each state has its own specific laws about AHDs, which can affect how they are recognized.

Are advanced directives recognized in all states?

One states advance directive does not always work in another state. Some states do honor advance directives from another state; others will honor out-of-state advance directives as long as they are similar to the states own law; and some states do not have an answer to this question.
