What governs a Wyoming directive

Wyoming's healthcare-directive statute is at Wyo. Stat. §35-22-401 et seq. 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 Wyoming directive

Wyo. Stat. §35-22-403(c): none of the following may be used as a witness for a power of attorney for health care: a treating health care provider or an employee of that provider, the attorney-in-fact nominated in the writing, the operator of a community care facility or an employee of that operator, or the operator of a residential care facility or an employee of that operator. Wyoming imposes no other witness restriction: it does not disqualify a witness who is related to the principal, who is an heir at law or entitled to a portion of the principal's estate, or who is directly responsible for the principal's medical or living expenses. Under §35-22-403(b) the durable power of attorney may be executed either by acknowledgment before a notarial officer or by at least two witnesses, and the §35-22-403(b) bar on an owner, operator, or employee of a residential or community care facility at which the principal is receiving care restricts who may serve as agent, not who may witness, unless that person is related to the principal by blood, marriage, or adoption.
