Vermont Advance Directives can be completed on any form, as long as they are signed and witnessed according to Vermont law. Check out California’s Prepare for Your Care initiative to find forms in more languages.
Vermont law requires that an advance directive must be signed by the principal and two adult witnesses. Witnesses CANNOT be your health care agents, spouse, children, parents, siblings, or grandchildren.
