Healthcare Surrogate, Explained Simply

In plain English: a Healthcare Surrogate form names the person who speaks for you at the hospital — someone you trust to make medical decisions if you can't speak for yourself. In Florida it must be signed in front of two adult witnesses. I handle the notarization — witnesses are something you'll need to bring.

How it works

1

You message me

Text or WhatsApp works best — tell me where you are and when works for you. A photo of your form helps me come fully prepared. Same-day is usually possible.

2

I come to you

Florida requires two adult witnesses — and the person you're naming can't be one of them. You're responsible for bringing your own required witnesses. I can explain what Florida requires for your document, but I can't provide, locate, or guarantee a witness.

3

You sign, it's done

About 15–20 minutes, witnessed correctly and notarized if you want the extra certainty. You keep the original for your records and your doctor.

Good Questions

Common questions

Does this form need to be notarized in Florida?

Honest answer: Florida law requires two witnesses, not a notary. But many hospitals, facilities, and families prefer it notarized for extra certainty — and since I'm there anyway, one visit covers both. I'll never charge you for something the law doesn't require without telling you first.

Who can be a witness?

Two adults. The person you name as your surrogate can't witness, and at least one witness must not be your spouse or a blood relative. Neighbors can serve as witnesses. You're responsible for bringing your own required witnesses. I can explain what Florida requires for your document, but I can't provide, locate, or guarantee a witness.

Can my spouse or child be my surrogate?

Yes — that's who most people choose. They just can't also serve as a witness to your signature.

Can you come to the hospital before surgery?

Yes. Pre-surgery signings are a regular part of my work. Message me your timing and I'll plan around the hospital's schedule.

How do I pay?

Whatever is easiest for you when the job is done. Payment is due when the appointment is complete — cash, debit, credit, Apple Pay, or tap-to-pay. For same-day or evening requests I may ask for a deposit to hold the booking; I'll tell you upfront if that applies.

A notary is not an attorney and cannot give legal advice or prepare legal documents. For advice about what your Healthcare Surrogate designation should say, please talk to a licensed Florida attorney.
