This document or guide is specific to North Carolina. Do not substitute a similarly named form from another state, province, or territory.
Before you sign
Each North Carolina directive has its own instructions. Review the current form carefully and distinguish signing the document from optionally registering it.
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.
