Make the Hardest Choices Easier—for You & the People Who Love You

When it comes to your health, you should be the one in control—even if you can’t speak for yourself. A Georgia Advance Healthcare Directive (also known as a living will) makes sure your medical wishes are known and respected.


We help people across Metro Atlanta put these vital decisions in writing—clearly, legally, and with compassion. It's one of the most thoughtful things you can do for the people you love.

What Is an Advance Healthcare Directive?

It’s a legal document that combines two things:

A document with horizontal lines and a pen angled across the page.

Your instructions for medical care, like whether you want life support or resuscitation in certain situations

Common Questions About Healthcare Directives:

  • What’s the difference between a living will and an advance directive?

    In Georgia, they’re part of the same form. The living will covers your care preferences; the directive also names your healthcare agent.

  • Does this replace a power of attorney?

    No—it complements it. You still need a separate durable POA for financial matters.

  • Can I change my mind?

    Yes. You can update or revoke your directive at any time as long as you’re mentally capable.

  • Do doctors and hospitals have to follow it?

    Yes—as long as it’s properly executed and available when needed. We’ll make sure it’s done right and advise you on how to store or share it.
