What governs a Idaho directive
Idaho's healthcare-directive statute is at Idaho Code §39-4501 et seq.; contents and validity at §39-4510; execution and duration at §39-4512; defined term at §39-4502(1). The official form is the Advance Care Planning Document (ACPD). 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 Idaho directive
Idaho Code §39-4510 sets the mandatory contents of an advance care planning document and does not require the document to be witnessed: §39-4510(2)(j) lists the names and contact information of witnesses among the optional elements, and §39-4510(2)(k) lists notarization as optional, so Idaho imposes no statutory list of disqualified witnesses for this document. Where witnesses are used as a precaution, sound practice is a competent adult who is not the health care agent or any successor agent named in the document and who has no direct financial interest in the principal's estate or in the cost of the principal's care.
