The California Advance Healthcare Directive is a way for you to assign certain legal rights that pertain to your healthcare to another individual, called your “agent.”
You as the assignor of rights is called the “principal.”
Keep Your Loved Ones from Guessing, Keep Them from Worry
As the principal, you use the California Advance Healthcare Directive to assign one or more rights to your agent (normally a trusted friend, relative, or professional fiduciary), so your agent can facilitate your healthcare plan with medical professionals on your behalf, in the event you become unable to do so yourself.
For example, in cases where a medical patient lacks the ability to breath or eat on his own and must be intubated for survival, the terms of this decision (if/ when/ how long) can be dictated ahead of time.
This ensures your loved ones aren’t left guessing as to the best course of action to take during difficult medical circumstances.
You can make make your instructions as general or specific as you prefer.
