What governs a Montana directive

Montana's healthcare-directive statute is at Mont. Code §50-9-101 et seq.. The official form is the Declaration. 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.

File your directive with Montana

Montana operates the Montana End-of-Life Registry, a database hospitals can search when you arrive unable to speak. Operated by the Montana Department of Justice under Mont. Code §50-9-501. Stores advance health care directives and makes them available to healthcare providers. Registration is paper-only (electronic filing is not available).
