What governs a Hawaii directive

Hawaii's healthcare-directive statute is at Haw. Rev. Stat. §327E-1 et seq.. The official form is the Advance Health Care Directive. 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 Hawaii directive

Haw. Rev. Stat. §327E-3(c) bars three witness classes: a health-care provider, an employee of a health-care provider or facility, and the agent. §327E-3(d) further requires that at least one witness be both unrelated to the principal by blood, marriage, or adoption and not entitled to any share of the principal's estate by will or by operation of law existing at execution.
