A digital advance directive is one that exists entirely online. It is filled out, docHubd if necessary, and stored online. A paper version may or may not exist. Digital advance directives are convenient as they may be downloaded anywhere the internet can be accessed.
A living will is a type of advance directive, a legal document that shares your wishes about your healthcare. You may be able to create a living will for free on your own. If you need legal help, hiring an attorney can cost up to $1,000 or more. But you may be able to find low-cost options.
CaringInfo provides free advance directives and instructions for each state that can be opened as a PDF (Portable Document Format) file. The PDFs may be filled in online. Some states allow online notarization.
Do I need a notary to create an advance directive? Except for optional forms, the forms do not require the use of a notary. An additional optional form called a witnesses affidavit that is included among the forms in this booklet requires a notary public or a lawyer to verify the signature of the witnesses.
