Illinois Advance Directives Forms
November 29, 2023
An advance directive is a written statement you prepare that expresses how you want medical decisions made in the future should you not be able to make them yourself. Illinois law allows you to make four types of advance directives: a health care power of attorney; a living will; a mental health treatment preference declaration, and a Do-Not-Resuscitate (DNR)/Practitioner Orders For Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST). Please see the link below for more information about advance directives.
Additional information and links to advance directive forms are available on the Illinois Department of Public Health website.
