The Vermont Advance Directive for Health Care is a document that allows a person to make their wishes known about medical care and end-of-life decisions in the event that they become unable to make decisions due to illness, injury, or incapacitating mental condition. This document allows an individual to appoint a health care proxy to make decisions on their behalf and to specify the types of medical treatments they wish to receive or refuse. The Vermont Advance Directive for Health Care is legally binding in Vermont and must be signed by two witnesses or a notary. There are two types of Vermont Advance Directive for Health Care: the Living Will and the Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care. The Living Will outlines the types of medical treatments the individual wishes to receive or refuse in the event of a terminal condition, while the Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care authorizes the appointed health care proxy to make decisions on the individual’s behalf.
