The Most Overlooked Document You Might Need Notarized

When most people think of notarization, they picture wills, deeds, or loan paperwork. But one of the most overlooked (and most important) documents is a medical directive. 🏥

A medical directive—sometimes called a healthcare proxy or living will—lays out your wishes in case you’re unable to speak for yourself. Sadly, many people put this off, thinking they’ll get to it “someday.”

But emergencies don’t wait. Without a medical directive, your loved ones may be forced to make tough decisions in stressful situations—without knowing what you’d want.

Why a Medical Directive Matters:

• ❤️ Protects your wishes.

• 🧾 Prevents family disputes.

• 🙏 Provides peace of mind.

It might not be fun to think about, but creating and notarizing this document is truly one of the most caring gifts you can leave your family.

💬 Do you already have a medical directive in place? Be honest—yes or no? Let’s talk about it in the comments.
