| According
to a June 4, 1998 ruling from the Mississippi Office of
the Attorney General, the living will form prescribed
in the 1984 Living Will Law is still valid. If the forms
were properly executed and signed by two witnesses, you
are not required to revise your living will or Durable
Power of Attorney for Health Care. If you choose to update
your previous Living Will and Durable Power of Attorney
for Health Care, you can combine the two documents into
one Advance Health Care Directive. Additionally, by using
the new optional form, you can designate a primary physician
and specify other wishes that may have been left out of
the earlier documents.
Since the legalities of a document such as this can
be very complex, it is suggested that you consult your
own legal advisor prior to execution of this document.
