The Arizona Advance Directive is a valuable form that can indicate what an individual would want to happen if they are ever in a predicament where they cannot speak for themselves and are facing severe health care issues. Within these portions of the packet, the principal can describe how they would like certain hypothetical scenarios to unfold and whether or not they would like to appoint an agent to manage certain decisions for them. After supplying the form with necessary details, users are required to sign each section of the document either in the company of a witnessing party or a notary public.
