An Indiana advance directive is a legal document a person can use to identify a health care agent who will be responsible for making healthcare-related decisions on their behalf in case they become unable to speak or make decisions for themselves. The form is a collection of health-planning documents mainly for the elderly and those in high-risk situations that may not be able to make decisions for themselves. After the form is complete, it should be held by multiple family members and the agent to ensure it’s easily accessible in an emergency.
