📝 What the Advance Directive Covers

The Georgia Advance Directive combines two legal tools into one document:

Health Care Agent Designation – name someone to make medical decisions for you if you cannot.
Living Will Provisions – record your wishes about life-sustaining treatment and end-of-life care.

This ensures your choices are respected and helps reduce stress for loved ones.

👤 Who Should Complete This Form?

Any adult age 18+ in Georgia
People who want their health care wishes clearly documented
Anyone creating or updating an estate plan

Any competent adult other than your treating physician or certain facility staff (unless related to you). Most people choose a spouse, adult child, or close friend.
