Wisconsin Advance Directive Form

Below is the information you'll need in order to obtain an Advance Directive in Wisconsin, which is comprised of two separate documents.

Overview: In Wisconsin you must fill out two separate forms to have a complete Advance Directive: A Living Will called a "Directive to Physicians and Family or Surrogates" and a "Power of Attorney for Health Care" (a.k.a. Health Care Proxy).

Required Information for the Living Will: You and two (2) witnesses must sign your WI Living Will for it to be considered valid. Witnesses MUST be at least 18 years of age. Witnesses CAN NOT be:

  • Related to you by blood, marriage or adoption
  • Directly financially responsible for your health care
  • Persons who know they are entitled to or have a claim on any portion of your estate
  • A health care provider who is serving you at the time the document is signed, an employee of the health care provider, other than a chaplain or a social worker, or an employee other than a chaplain or social worker of an inpatient health care facility in which you are a patient
