This guide provides a clear and supportive way to fill out the Advance Directives online. By following these steps, users can ensure their medical care preferences are documented and respected.

Follow the steps to successfully complete your Advance Directives.

1. Click ‘Get Form’ button to obtain the Advance Directives form and open it in your preferred online editor.
2. Begin with the Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care Decisions section. Fill in your name and the name, address, and telephone number of your designated health care agent who will make decisions on your behalf. Be sure to provide any special instructions you wish to include.
3. Next, proceed to the Living Will section. Explicitly state your preferences regarding life-sustaining treatment, ensuring your choices about end-of-life care are clear.
4. In the Do Not Resuscitate Directive section, if applicable, clearly define your wishes about resuscitation. This section requires a physician's signature, so ensure you coordinate with your healthcare provider.
5. Once all sections are completed, remember that your signature must be witnessed by at least two individuals aged 18 or older. They should not be your agent or family members. If needed, arrange for a Care Coordination staff member to assist with this.
6. After witnessing, validate the document if it's in compliance with Kansas or Missouri law. Kansas does not require notarization, but Missouri does. If notarization is required, schedule a visit with a notary public.
7. Finally, save changes to your completed form. You can download, print, or share the Advance Directives with relevant parties such as your primary physician and family members, ensuring they have copies.
