What this resource covers
A Wisconsin medical power of attorney or advance-directive form, sourced from official government or state-recognized channels, for naming a health-care decision-maker and recording your wishes.
This document or guide is specific to Wisconsin. Do not substitute a similarly named form from another state, province, or territory.
Before you sign
Wisconsin sets its own witness, notarization, and execution rules for health-care documents. Confirm the current requirements before signing.
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 copies to your agent and health-care providers, and record where the signed original is kept.
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.
