A Living Will may generally be revoked by executing a new Living Will or by using the Revocation of Living Will. Many states specify that a Living Will may be revoked at any time and in any manner. However, the best method is to provide a written, signed and dated revocation to the Agent (if any) and the appropriate health care providers. Although other documents require a witness or notary, legal principles encourage the recognition of a revocation without the necessity of such formalities. Note: In many states, the revocation document may be considered ineffective until your Agent and/or physician have been notified of the revocation. |
