It is possible that a court could invalidate your document if it wasn't properly completed -- for example, if you did not meet your state's requirements for having the document notarized or witnessed. If this happens, however, it is still likely that any wishes for health care you set out in the document will be followed - as long as they are clearly expressed and you were of sound mind when you wrote them down.
In the famous case Cruzan v. Director, Missouri Dept. of Health, 497 U.S. 261 (1990), the U.S. Supreme Court said that any strong evidence of someone's wishes for care should be honored. So your directions won't be ignored simply because of a technical error.

Thanks for the quick service! I am very impressed with the speed and
quality of your products and service. My husband is stationed in San
Antonio, TX and I am trying to move us from NC to TX by myself- this
power of attorney helped tremendously with so little complication!
