What governs a Pennsylvania directive

Pennsylvania's healthcare-directive statute is at 20 Pa.C.S. §5421 et seq.. The official form is the Living Will / 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.
