Life is full of unexpected moments—but your medical wishes don’t have to be one of them. Creating Advanced Healthcare Directives in North Dakota gives you control over your future care and ensures your voice is heard, even when you cannot speak for yourself.

At EmergencyNotaryServices.com, we offer free access to North Dakota-specific forms from AARP and help connect you with trusted notaries across the state so you can complete your documents with confidence.

📘 What Are Advanced Healthcare Directives?

Advanced Healthcare Directives are legal documents that outline your preferences for medical care and appoint someone to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you're incapacitated. These directives are especially important when preparing for hospitalization, planning end of life care, or facing serious illness.

They reduce confusion and emotional burden for your loved ones and ensure your care aligns with your values.

📂 What’s Included in a North Dakota Advanced Healthcare Directive Package?

👤 Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care

This form allows you to designate a healthcare agent (also called a proxy) who can make medical decisions for you if you're unable to do so. Your agent should be someone you trust to advocate for your values and follow your wishes.

✅ In North Dakota, this document must be notarized or signed by two witnesses to be legally valid.

📝 Living Will (Declaration Regarding Life-Prolonging Treatment)

A Living Will allows you to state your preferences regarding life-sustaining treatments such as:

CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation)
Mechanical ventilation
Tube feeding
Comfort and palliative care

This ensures your care team understands your choices during critical situations.

🔐 HIPAA Authorization

This optional form authorizes your chosen agent to access your private medical records. This ensures your healthcare agent has the information needed to make informed decisions.

❌ Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Order

If you choose not to receive CPR or other life-saving measures in a medical emergency, a DNR Order can be created with your doctor. In North Dakota, this order is medically issued and must be respected by emergency responders.
