What governs a Rhode Island directive

Rhode Island's healthcare-directive statute is at R.I. Gen. Laws §23-4.10-2. The official form is the Durable Power of Attorney 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.
