Signing Requirements

Advance directives must be signed by two witnesses who don’t stand to inherit any of the principal’s estate and are not involved in their health care.[1]

Furthermore, the health care agent may not act as a witness, and no more than one witness can be an employee of the facility where the declarant receives care.

Revocation

The declarant may revoke the advance directive at any time by[2]:

  • Destroying the document.
  • Executing another advance directive.
  • Signing a written revocation.
  • Clearly stating their intent to revoke it to a witness who must sign a statement confirming it.

If the declarant is receiving care at a health care facility, the revocation will only become effective when it is communicated to the attending physician.
