This is a legal document you complete when you have the ability to make your own decisions. It allows you to choose someone (your attorney) to make personal (including health) and/or financial decisions for you if you cannot in the future.

This is a legal document that lets you record your healthcare preferences in advance. It records what medical treatment and care you would or would not want if you cannot decide or communicate later.

Planning ahead (for example, making an EPOA and/or an AHD) helps you stay in control of future decisions, makes your wishes clear, and reduces stress for the people who support you.
