A Health Care Directive (sometimes referred to as a “Living Will” or a “Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care”) is a document that helps those involved in your care know what your wishes are when you are not able to communicate those desires at a point in time when decisions regarding your care need to be made.
I travel and spend quite a bit of time in other states during the year, is my Minnesota Health Care Directive valid in other states?
Each state has their own laws regarding Health Care Directives. You would be wise to find out what the laws are regarding Health Care Directives in other states where you spend time. For example some states may require both witnesses and a notary to create a valid Health Care Directive. For a good source of directives for each state, go to The National Hospice and Palliative Care site.
