Healthcare Directives
Living wills and healthcare surrogate designations that document your medical preferences under Florida law.
Overview
Chapter 765 of the Florida Statutes govern healthcare advance directives. These documents let you state preferences for care and name who may decide if you cannot speak for yourself. We prepare living wills, healthcare surrogate designations, HIPAA authorizations, and related forms so your chosen representative has clearer authority to act.
What's Included
- Living will (advance directive for end-of-life care preferences)
- Designation of healthcare surrogate
- HIPAA authorization for medical information
- Instructions on life-sustaining treatment preferences
- Documents that take effect when you cannot communicate
Why It Matters
Without directives, family members and providers may face hard decisions with less guidance. Advance directives can reduce uncertainty in a crisis by putting your preferences and your chosen decision-maker in writing. Hospitals and courts apply Florida law to the situation at hand.
