North Dakota Advance Directive Form (Medical POA + Living Will)

A North Dakota advance directive is a document that lets a patient list out their intentions for end-of-life instances and events of incapacitation. Moreover, the patient, who is called the “Principal,” may assign a medical power of attorney who is given the authority to make the patient’s medical decisions when the patient cannot speak for themselves.
