What Are Health Care Documents?

Health care documents are legal forms that outline your medical preferences or assign someone to make health-related decisions on your behalf if you’re unable to do so. These documents are vital during emergencies, major medical procedures, or end-of-life planning. In California, many of these documents must be notarized—or signed in front of witnesses—to be legally valid.

Common notarized health care documents include:

  • Advance Health Care Directives
  • Medical Power of Attorney
  • HIPAA Release Authorizations
  • Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Orders
  • Living Wills

As your trusted health care documents notary public, we make sure your forms are handled with care, accuracy, and full legal compliance.

Why Notarize Health Care Forms?

Notarizing medical documents adds an extra layer of legal security and can help prevent disputes or delays in medical care. You may need a notary if:

  • You’re preparing for surgery or hospitalization
  • You want to assign a trusted person to make health decisions
  • You’re creating or updating end-of-life care wishes
  • You’re helping a loved one with estate or elder care planning

In many cases, your medical provider, hospital, or legal advisor will require that these documents be notarized to accept them.

Our mobile notaries are experienced in all types of medical paperwork. Below is a table of commonly notarized health care documents:
