What governs a New Hampshire directive
New Hampshire's healthcare-directive statute is at N.H. Rev. Stat. §137-J:1 et seq.. The official form is the Advance 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.
Who can witness your New Hampshire directive
Neither witness may be the agent or surrogate, the principal's spouse or heir at law, or a person entitled to any part of the estate; nor the attending practitioner or a person acting under the attending practitioner's direction. No more than one witness may be the principal's health or residential care provider or such provider's employee. (RSA 137-J:14, I(a))
