Signing Requirements

Two witnesses must also sign an advance directive.[1]

In a living will, neither a spouse nor a blood relative can act as a witness. When signing a health care surrogate designation, neither witness can be the surrogate, and at least one can’t be a spouse or blood relative.[2]

Revocation

As long as the principal is competent, they may revoke their advance directive at any time by any of the following means[3]:

  • A signed and dated revocation
  • Destroying the document
  • Executing another advance directive
  • Verbally expressing their intention to revoke

Dissolution or annulment of a marriage also revokes the former spouse’s power as surrogate.
