Advanced Care Planning
It is never too early to be prepared
So, What are Advanced Care Directives?
Utah’s Advance Health Care Directive form is established in statute. A person can create a form that is different from the statutory form, but the law was designed to create a form that would work well for most people. You do not need a lawyer to complete these forms. If you need assistance in completing the form, contact your primary care physician, your local hospital, or Utah Legal Services (any Utah resident age 60 or older can call 800-662-1772 between 9 am and 2 pm for assistance).

Planning
Before completing an advance health care directive, you may wish to explore your health care wishes. The Tool Kit can be used to explore your wishes, to test the knowledge of the person you want to name as your Health Care Agent, and to provide instructions to your Health Care Agent.
