An Advance Directive dictates whether or not to withdraw life-sustaining procedures when you are incapacitated. Learn how they work by reading below.
No one wants to think about the end of their life. However, you're already on GoGo Estate, so death may already be top of mind. Advanced Directives (sometimes known as "Health Care Directives" or "Living Wills") allow the person creating the Advanced Directive (the "declarant") to state their end-of-life wishes in the event that they cannot express those for themselves at the end of their life. By creating an Advanced Directive, you can give your family, friends, and medical professionals peace of mind knowing your end-of-life care wishes.
Advanced Directives differ depending on the state. Some states include an Advanced Directive within a Durable Health Care Power of Attorney. Other states mandate that these plans be two separate documents. And a couple of states (Massachusetts and Michigan) do not have a statute allowing for Advanced Directives.
The general Advanced Directed that can be purchased through GoGo Estate has two tiers of decisions that customers must make. The first is the medical conditions in which the declarant authorizes the withdrawal of care, and the second is the type of care to withdraw if (and only if) those conditions exist and the declarant is unable to communicate care for themselves.
The medical conditions that the general GoGo Estate Advanced Directive includes for with withdrawal of care include:
If any of those conditions apply, and if the declarant cannot communicate for themselves, then family, friends, and medical providers are authorized to withdraw the following types of care:
To make the Advanced Directive effective, the customer must initial their name next to each condition and treatment in order to provide for appropriate end-of-life planning.
Advanced Directives are included within each GoGo Estate Plan. If you would rather purchase a standalone Advanced Directive without other estate planning documents, you can do so by purchasing a Health Care Declaration under Protection Plans. You deserve control over your end-of-life care. Plan your care with an Advanced Directive from GoGo Estate today!

Unfortunately, most states do not allow for estate planning documents to be signed electronically. That means that you will have to sign them in front of a notary and (depending) at least two witnesses. Luckily, GoGo Estate provides detailed signing instructions in the first few pages of each document you purchase. While we hope to implement electronic signing in the future (depending on the state), at this time we do not help our customers sign their estate planning documents.
