What governs a Oklahoma directive

Oklahoma's healthcare-directive statute is at Okla. Stat. tit. 63 §3101.1 et seq. The official form is the Advance Directive for Health Care. 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 Oklahoma directive

63 O.S. §3101.4(A): the advance directive must be signed by the declarant and witnessed by two individuals who are eighteen years of age or older and who are not legatees, devisees, or heirs at law of the declarant, so neither witness may inherit from the declarant under a will or by intestate succession. The statutory form at §3101.4(C) adds, in General Provisions paragraph b, that the witnesses must not be related to the declarant. Oklahoma does not disqualify the health care proxy, the attending physician, or an employee of a health care provider or facility from serving as a witness.
