Alabama uses separate documents for financial management and health care decisions. The financial download is the statutory-style form published by Alabama Cooperative Extension. The Department of Public Health’s advance directive combines living-will choices with a health care proxy. Compare their different signing steps, including the medical form’s age-19 requirements.
