New Jersey Advance Directive Form
In New Jersey, an advance directive is a legal document that enables individuals to specify their desired medical treatment preferences for end-of-life care and appoint a representative to advocate on their behalf if they are unable to communicate their wishes. This directive serves as a hybrid of a power of attorney and a living will, detailing an individual's healthcare objectives in the event that they become incapacitated.
