Can an advance health care directive be changed or canceled?
• The declarant of a living will may revoke the declaration at any time and in any manner without regard to the declarant’s mental or physical condition. The revocation shall be effective upon its communication to the attending physician or other health care provider by the declarant or a witness to the revocation and shall be made a part of the person’s medical record. A durable power of attorney for health care may be revoked orally or in writing at any time by a person who is competent. Regardless of the form(s) of advance health care directive used, it is recommended to review it periodically with your attorney and family to ensure it expresses your wishes and complies with state law.
