Signing Requirements

A Mississippi advance directive must be in writing, dated, and signed by the principal and two witnesses or a notary public.[1]

At least one of the witnesses must attest that they aren’t related to the principal by blood, marriage, or adoption, or entitled to their estate. Health care providers, their employees, and the assigned health care agent cannot serve as witnesses.

Revocation

The designation of a health care agent can only be revoked through a written statement or by personally informing the healthcare provider.[2] Termination of a marriage also revokes a spouse’s authority as agent.
The rest of an advance directive can be revoked in any way that communicates the principal’s intent.
