Arkansas Advance Directive Form
Last updated May 12th, 2025
An Arkansas advance directive, also known as an Advance Care Plan, combines a living will and medical power of attorney to give clear health care instructions. The “principal” uses the document to choose their health care agent and relay the conditions that would render their quality of life unacceptable and the end-of-life treatments they accept or reject.
Signing Requirements
Two witnesses or a notary public must sign advance directives in Arkansas.[1]
The health care agent may not act as a witness, and at least one witness cannot be:
- Entitled to any of the principal’s estate.
- A blood relative of the principal.
- Related to the principal by marriage or adoption.
