What governs a Missouri directive
Missouri's healthcare-directive statute is at Mo. Rev. Stat. §§404.800-404.872. 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.
Living will companion in Missouri
Missouri's living-will declaration is a separate document from the Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care. The declaration directs the withholding or withdrawal of death-prolonging procedures; §459.015 sets out a sample form (optional) and requires the declaration to be signed in the presence of two or more witnesses age 18+ unless it is wholly handwritten by the declarant. Under §459.016, the Department of Health and Senior Services publishes the form on its website. See Mo. Rev. Stat. §§459.015, 459.016.
