What governs a Connecticut directive
Connecticut's healthcare-directive statute is at Conn. Gen. Stat. §19a-575a et seq.. The official form is the Health Care Instructions. Your directive is valid the moment it's signed under your state's witness and notary rules above; it only takes effect if your physician determines you can't make or communicate decisions yourself.
