New York Advance Directive Form (Medical POA + Living Will)

A New York advance directive is a document on which individuals may write out their health care wishes and assign a trusted friend or family member to act as their healthcare proxy. The “living will” form guides physicians on how to handle a person’s end-of-life care. Living wills aren’t recognized in New York, but they may be attached to a health care proxy document to further direct medical staff and assist the patient’s medical agent.
