This is Georgia’s official form for naming a health care agent and writing down your treatment wishes. It replaces the old Georgia living will and durable power of attorney for health care. It does not cover finances — for that, use a Georgia Statutory Form Power of Attorney. You may fill out any of Parts One to Three, but you must complete Part Four.
This form lets doctors, hospitals and insurers share your medical information with a family member, agent, attorney or anyone else you choose. It is often signed alongside a power of attorney or advance directive so your agent can get records quickly. Many providers, insurers and attorneys prefer a notarized authorization because it proves the signature is yours.
Use this form to cancel all or part of a Georgia Advance Directive for Health Care, or an older Georgia living will or durable power of attorney for health care. A signed, notarized revocation is clear written proof for hospitals, doctors and your former agent. If you want new instructions, sign a new Georgia Advance Directive for Health Care, which automatically replaces earlier ones.
