Five Wishes States

 

Michigan

The state of Michigan requires your health care agent to sign a Patient Advocate Acceptance Form.  The people you name in Wish 1 of Five Wishes must sign this form before they begin making decisions for you.

This form is not included in Five Wishes because you are not required to complete the acceptance form at the same time.

It is offered here as a helpful resource.
