Yes, I Can Help You Notarize a:
Medical Directive
A medical directive, also known as an advance healthcare directive, is a legal document that outlines an individual’s medical treatment preferences. It is used when the person is unable to communicate their wishes due to incapacitation. This document often includes end-of-life decisions and organ donation preferences.
Why Use a Notary?
Notarizing a medical directive ensures that the individual creating the directive is of sound mind and is acting voluntarily. It adds legal validity to the document, ensuring that healthcare providers and family members follow the outlined instructions. Notarization helps prevent disputes or challenges to the authenticity of the directive. It also ensures that the directive is enforceable in medical settings and legal proceedings.
Notaries are not attorneys and therefore cannot draft legal documents. However, to better serve my clients, I recommend using LawDepot for affordable access to commonly used legal forms. This can help you save on the cost of hiring an attorney for document preparation.

Medical Directive
A Medical Directive, also known as an Advance Health Care Directive, is a legal document that allows an individual to state their medical care preferences and appoint a health care agent to make decisions on their behalf if they are unable to communicate due to illness or incapacity.
This directive often includes:
Instructions about life-sustaining treatment
Preferences for pain management, organ donation, or resuscitation (DNR)
Designation of a trusted person to act as a health care proxy or agent
Specific wishes for end-of-life care
In California, a valid Medical Directive must be:
Signed while the individual is of sound mind
Witnessed by two disinterested adults OR notarized—only one of the two options is required
Clearly state the name of the agent and any medical instructions
Notarizing the document is strongly recommended to ensure acceptance by hospitals, care facilities, and medical professionals—especially in situations where there may be confusion or dispute.
A mobile notary can provide compassionate and timely service by notarizing your Medical Directive at your home, hospital, or care facility, ensuring it is legally sound and ready when needed.
