California Advance Health Care Directive — Reference & Mobile Notary Los Angeles

If you already know you need a California Advance Health Care Directive and have (or will have) a completed form, we can notarize your signature on it as a California Notary Public, including at a hospital bedside. This page links to the form published by the California Attorney General so you can find it more easily.

We Are Notaries, Not Attorneys

Mobile American Notary & Apostilles is not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice, do not recommend which form you need, do not tell you how to fill it out, do not explain what your options mean, and do not review completed forms for accuracy. This page is a directory that links to authoritative source materials. If you have any question about which form to use or how to complete it, please consult a licensed California attorney. When your form is filled out and you are ready to sign, we can notarize your signature as a mobile Notary Public across Los Angeles, Orange, and Ventura Counties.

What the Statute Says

We do not explain, interpret, or summarize the California Probate Code or the Attorney General's form on this page. If you have any question about whether an Advance Health Care Directive is the right instrument, whom to name as your health care agent, what medical preferences to record, or how the form should be executed in your particular situation, please consult a licensed California attorney or a health care planning professional.

The primary authoritative sources are linked above. Our role begins only once your document is completed and you are ready to sign it in front of a California Notary Public.

The above is a paraphrase of publicly available statutory text and is provided for factual reference only. It is not legal advice or a legal opinion. For any question about how the statute applies to your situation, consult a licensed California attorney.

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below describe our notary service and cite publicly available statutory or agency information. They are not legal advice. For questions about which form to use, what to write in it, or how the statute applies to your situation, please consult a licensed California attorney.

Do you notarize the California Advance Health Care Directive?
Yes. Once the form is completed and you are ready to sign, we can notarize your acknowledgment as a California Notary Public across Los Angeles, Orange, and Ventura Counties, including at a hospital bedside.
Can you notarize an Advance Directive at a hospital or care facility?
Yes. Hospital bedside notarization is a routine part of our service. The signer must be able to communicate directly with the notary, present valid ID, and sign without assistance. See our hospital notary page for how bedside signings work.
Can you also serve as one of the two witnesses instead of notarizing?
California Probate Code §4673 sets specific qualifications for who may serve as a witness. Whether a particular person qualifies is a legal question. If you are considering the two-witness pathway rather than notarization, please consult a licensed California attorney about witness qualifications. Where notarization is used, no witnesses are required by the statute.
Can you help me choose an agent or fill out the form?
No. Under California law, a notary may not draft, complete, or advise on the content of a document. Choosing an agent, selecting end-of-life preferences, and completing the form are legal questions. Please consult a licensed California attorney if you have questions about the content.
Can multiple family members be notarized in one visit?
Yes. We frequently notarize signatures for spouses or family members together in a single visit. Each signer must present valid, unexpired, government-issued photo ID and must sign in front of the notary.
Can I revoke or amend a signed Advance Directive later?
The Advance Health Care Directive can be revoked or amended under California Probate Code Division 4.7. How to revoke effectively and what notice to provide is a legal question — please consult a licensed California attorney. Once you have prepared a written revocation or amendment, we can notarize it.
