Oklahoma advance health care directive  

Oklahoma Advance
Health Care Directive
(details and explanations)

 
You have the right to make decisions about your health care. No health care may be given to you over your objection, and necessary health care may not be withdrawn or withheld if you object.
 
In Oklahoma, an individual of sound mind and eighteen (18) years of age or older may execute an advance directive governing the withholding or withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment. The advance directive shall be signed by the declarant and witnessed by two individuals who are eighteen (18) years of age or older who are not your heirs at law.

Legal Helpmate® provides you with two options:

1) Premium Package:
  • Oklahoma Advance Directive for Health Care
  • Oklahoma Springing Power of Attorney for Property and Finance
2) Basic Package:
  • Oklahoma Advance Directive for Health Care
The Oklahoma Advance Health Care Directive combines a Power of Attorney for Health Care, a Living Will, and a Anatomical Gifts Directive into one document. You are free to complete either part of this document.
 
In the first part of your Advance Health Care Directive - "Living Will" - you set the circumstances when your life must not be prolonged.
 
In the second part of your Health Care Directive - "Appointment of Health Care Proxy" - you essentially state who you want to decide whether the life support devises shall be withdrawn if you should have an incurable or irreversible condition that, without the administration of life-sustaining treatment, will, in the opinion of your attending physician or attending advanced practice registered nurse, cause your death within a relatively short time and you are unable to make decisions regarding your medical treatment.
 
You may also appoint an alternate agent in case your primary agent (attorney in fact) is unable or unwilling to perform.
 
The third part of the Oklahoma Health Care Directive called "Anatomical Gifts" allows you to donate any of your organs to different institutions, or express no desire to donate at all.

THIS ADVANCE 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.
