A Wisconsin advance directive is a document that outlines a person’s health care treatment preferences in the event they can’t speak for themselves. This also establishes an “agent” to be able to speak on the person’s behalf (usually a spouse or family member). An advance directive only comes into use when the person cannot speak for themselves and may be used after signing with two (2) witnesses.
Advance Directive Includes
- Declaration to Physicians Living Will (Form F-00060);
- Power of Attorney for Health Care (Form F-00085); and
- Authorization for Final Disposition (Form F-00086).
