What governs a Georgia directive
Georgia's healthcare-directive statute is at Ga. Code §31-32-1 et seq.. The official form is the Georgia Advance Directive for Health Care. Last revised 2016-03. 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.
Who can witness your Georgia directive
A witness may not be the health care agent or alternate agent, a person who will knowingly inherit anything from the declarant or otherwise knowingly gain a financial benefit from the declarant's death, or a person directly involved in the declarant's health care. Not more than one witness may be an employee, agent, or medical staff member of the health care facility in which the declarant is receiving care (O.C.G.A. §31-32-5(c)).
