California law - Advance Health Care Directive


California law provides individuals the ability to make their health care wishes known through a form called an Advance Health Care Directive.
 
An Advance Health Care Directive lets your physician, family and friends know your health care preferences, including the types of special treatment you want or don't want at the end of life, your desire for diagnostic testing, surgical procedures, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and organ donation.
 
By considering your options early, you can ensure that your wishes are known and that your family doesn't have to "guess" or make critical medical care decisions for you under stress or while in emotional turmoil.
 
California Advance Health Care Directive combines Power of Attorney for Health Care, a Living Will, and a Directive to Physicians regarding organ donation into one document. However, CA Law does not require you to follow the formula "three documents in one". For example, you may choose to appoint your agent to make important health-related decisions for you in a Power of Attorney for Health Care and not to sign a Living Will.
