What governs a Maine directive

Maine's healthcare-directive statute is at Me. Rev. Stat. tit. 18-C §5-801 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.
