What governs a Michigan directive

Michigan's healthcare-directive statute is at Mich. Comp. Laws §§700.5506–700.5515. The official form is the Patient Advocate Designation (non-statutory document-type label; no state-issued statutory form exists). 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.
