LIVING WILL According to Arizona revised Statute, an adult may prepare a written statement known as a Living Will to control the health care treatment decisions that can be made on that person's behalf. You may use the Living Will in addition to or instead of a Health Care Power of Attorney in your advance health care directive.We provide you with a choice of purchasing the Living Will, the Health Care Power of Attorney, and the Springing Power of Attorney for Property and Finance forms in one package; or, you may purchase one (or all) of these forms separately. Before you start working on your health care directive you need to know the following important definitions: A declarant is a person who has executed a Living Will. Persistent vegetative state is a state of severe mental impairment in which only involuntary bodily functions are present and for which there exists no reasonable expectation of regaining significant cognitive function. Terminal condition is an incurable condition caused by disease, illness, or injury which, regardless of the application of life-sustaining procedures, would produce death. To establish that a declarant is in a terminal condition, two physicians, one of whom must be the attending physician, who, after personally examining the declarant, certify in writing, based upon conditions found during the course of their examination, that there is no reasonable expectation for improvement in the condition of the declarant; and that death of the declarant from these conditions will occur as a result of such disease, illness, or injury. Witness requirements: A Living Will must be signed by the declarant in the presence of at least two competent adults who, at the time of the execution of the Living Will, to the best of their knowledge:
DURABLE HEALTH CARE POWER OF ATTORNEY The issuance of a Durable Health Care Power of Attorney (the Arizona Health Care Power of Attorney) is regulated by AZ Revised Statute paragraph 36-3221.Use a Durable Health Care Power of Attorney form if you want to designate a person to make future health care decisions for you so that if you become too ill or can not make those decisions for yourself the person you choose and trust can make medical decisions for you. Do not sign this form until your witnesses OR a Notary Public is present to witness the signing. |
