The web site, www.caringinfo.org offsite link, contains free forms and the requirements for their execution for each state and the District of Columbia. You'll find the forms under the general heading: "Advance Directives". The site has information from the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO).

Sanctuary, Inc. maintains Living Wills and similar forms and literature. Although the Living Will and Healthcare Proxy documents are free, Sanctuary requests a $25 donation with your order. Sanctuary combines a Healthcare Power of Attorney and a Living Will into one document. Sanctuary is located at 204-04 Hillside Avenue, Hollis, NY 11423. Telephone: 718.479.1000. www.healthproxylivingwill.org offsite link.

Many stationery, book, and office supply stores also sell forms that conform to your state's laws - particularly forms geared to each state by Rediform ® of Coppell, TX 75019 (their Durable Power of Attorney Kit is Legal Form 10175). If you are unable to locate a store that carries Rediform ® products, you call the Rediform hotline at 800.234.7586. As of this writing, you cannot order forms through their website, but it may be worth checking when you read this. See www.rediform.com offsite link

Another excellent source of your state's laws concerning Advance Directives are local non-profit organizations that serve seniors or people with a life-changing condition such as HIV/AIDS, cancer, or Alzheimer's.
