What this resource covers
Open Georgia's state resource for planning health-care instructions and naming an agent to make health-care decisions when needed.
This document or guide is specific to Georgia. Do not substitute a similarly named form from another state, province, or territory.
Before you sign
Use Georgia's current directive and read its complete execution instructions before signing. Do not apply another state's witness or notarization rules.
If capacity is disputed, the appointment is complex, or property crosses jurisdictions, get advice from a qualified lawyer or notary where appropriate.
After it is properly completed
Give usable copies to your agent and health-care providers, tell trusted people where the signed original is stored, and review the document after major life or relationship changes.
You can then record its location and the responsible contacts in BeforeHand. Uploading a file does not make it legally valid or replace delivery, registration, witnessing, or notarization required elsewhere.
