The recipient's directions, acceptable identification and any witnesses specified in the packet.
How to complete it
Download the Florida Health Care Surrogate for Minor PDF and read its instructions before filling it in.
Enter the details needed to appoint a health care surrogate for my child. Ask a Florida attorney about legal choices you do not understand.
Follow this packet's signature, witness and notarization instructions. Leave any signature requiring a notary for the appointment.
Save and print your completed packet, follow its delivery or recording directions, and keep a copy.
Provide the child's details, responsible adult and medical consent described in the Florida packet. Ask the provider about its own consent requirements and how this differs from appointing a health care surrogate.
Choose a Florida health care surrogate and any alternate, and describe the authority you intend to grant. Read the packet's activation choices and witness instructions before signing; financial authority belongs in a separate power of attorney.
Specify who may disclose or receive your medical information, the information covered and the authorization's duration. A Florida HIPAA release permits disclosure within its terms; it does not appoint a financial agent or health care surrogate.
Put your treatment wishes in writing for the circumstances described in this Florida living will. Discuss care choices with your clinician and share the signed document with the people who may need to follow it.
Identify the Florida advance directive or surrogate designation you intend to revoke. Notify the affected care providers and decision-makers so the change reaches those holding the earlier document.
