Advance Directives
Your wishes. Your way. In writing.
Making plans and communicating them in advance to your loved ones is crucial for ensuring you get what you want – and avoid enduring anything you don't – at the end of life, even if you're unable to speak for yourself.
An advance directive is an important set of end-of-life planning documents that include a living will (“what I want”) and a medical durable power of attorney (“who will speak for me”) that outline your end-of-life preferences. They're called "advance" directives because you complete them ahead of the time –before you need them – to provide a written record of your wishes and preferences regarding medical treatments and interventions.
You don't need a lawyer to create an advance directive. Your forms become legally valid as soon as you sign them in front of the required witnesses.
Forms and guidelines vary by state.
For Colorado, visit The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to access the forms you need.
Outside of Colorado: Visit Compassion & Choices or Caring Connections to find information and forms for your state.
