ARIZONA LIVING WILL with Organ Donation Provision Arizona Revised Statute 36-3261 expressly provides for the validity of a Living Will in the State. Living Wills are legal and valid in Arizona.According to this 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. This important legal document is known as an advance directive. It is designed to help you communicate your wishes about medical treatment at some time in the future when you are unable to make your wishes known because of illness or injury. These wishes are usually based on personal values. In particular, you may want to consider what burdens or hardships of treatment you would be willing to accept in exchange for obtaining a certain degree of benefit if you were seriously ill. Before signing this important document you need to discuss your treatment with your physician in as much detail as possible, and consider types of treatments that you want/do not want to be performed for you when you are unable to express your wishes because of your illness. Please make sure to state clearly particular treatments you want or do not want. This document may not be changed or modified. If you want to make changes in the document, you must make an entirely new one. This directive is effective until you (the Principal) revoke it. THIS HEALTH CARE DIRECTIVE IS NOT VALID UNLESS IT IS SIGNED IN THE PRESENCE OF TWO COMPETENT ADULT WITNESSES. THE FOLLOWING PERSONS MAY NOT ACT AS ONE OF THE WITNESSES: (1) the person designated by the Principal as your agent;(2) a person related to the Principal by blood or marriage; (3) a person entitled to any part of the Principal’s estate after the Principal’s death under a will or codicil executed by the Principal or by operation of law; (4) the Principal’s attending physician; (5) an employee of the Principal’s attending physician; (6) an employee of a health care facility in which the Principal is a patient if the employee is providing direct patient care to the Principal or is an officer, director, partner, or business office employee of the health care facility or of any parent organization of the health care facility; or (7) a person who, at the time this power of attorney is executed, has a claim against any part of the Principal’s estate after his or her death.
