Health Agent · Planning ahead
Put your wishes in writing — in your own words.
An advance directive tells your family and care team what you want, and who speaks for you, if you ever can't speak for yourself. Make your choices in plain language and get a clean draft to print and sign. This tool records what you decide — it never tells you what to choose.

Your draft
In one line
Everything you type stays in the page you already loaded — your words are never uploaded, and the draft is assembled from your own choices and nothing else. A free account lets you save or print what you build. See the proof →
How it works
Your decisions, written down — not ours
This builder records the choices you make. It does not tell you whether to continue or withdraw treatment, whom to name, or what most people pick — those are yours, and they belong to a conversation with your family and your doctor. The tool's only job is to put what you decide into clear, organized language you can sign.
It also won't pretend the draft is automatically legal. An advance directive has to be executed the way your state requires — usually your signature plus two qualified witnesses or a notary, and a witness usually can't be your agent, a relative, or your doctor. The draft tells you that every time, because skipping it is how good directives end up unenforceable.
It fits the rest of your file
Once it's signed, keep it findable
Give a copy to the person you named, your doctor, and your hospital. If you also need to control who can see your records, the records requester handles the HIPAA side. And if a bill or denial is part of the picture, the denial-fight tools are here too.
Questions
Common questions
Does what I type get sent anywhere?
No. The draft is assembled by code already running in your browser — your name and your wishes never travel over the network and are not stored. (The page does count an anonymous view when it loads, with nothing you typed, so we can see which tools help most.) Close the tab and the draft is gone unless you printed or copied it.
Is the draft legally valid as soon as I print it?
No. You have to sign it and have it witnessed or notarized the way your state requires. Most states want your signature plus two qualified adult witnesses or a notary, and a witness usually can't be your named agent, a relative, an heir, or your doctor. Some states have a specific form. Check your state's requirements before relying on it.
Will it tell me what to choose?
No — on purpose. These are deeply personal decisions. The tool gives you clear options and records the ones you pick; it never recommends one. Talk them through with your family and your doctor.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is a document-assembly aid, not legal or medical advice. For your situation, consider an attorney or your state's advance-directive resources.
