An Enduring Guardianship is about choosing a person.
- You appoint someone you trust to make personal and medical decisions for you if you cannot.
An Advance Care Directive (ACD) is about writing down your wishes.
- You record what medical treatment you do or do not want, so doctors can follow your instructions.
Some people choose to have both documents. This helps make sure your wishes are clear and someone you trust can speak on your behalf.
