You also have the right to name someone else to make health-care decisions for you. This form lets you do either or both of these things.

Revocation of Health Care Proxy - This form provides for partial or total revocation of that Health Care Proxy provided for in Form MA-P020. See General Laws of Massachusetts, Chapter 210D, Section 7. Document of Anatomical Gift - This Uniform Anatomical Gift Act Donation form pursuant to state statutes designates the specific body parts and organs an individual wishes to donate at the time of death. Any individual of sound mind and eighteen years of age or more may give all or any part of his body. A gift of all or part of the body may be made by will or by a document other than a will. This form must be witnessed and the signature notarized. Revocation of Anatomical Gift Donation – This Revocation of Anatomical Gift Donation form is a revocation of Form MA-P025 that designates the body parts and organs an individual wishes to donate at the time of death. If the will, card, or other document or executed copy thereof, has been delivered to a specified donee, the donor may amend or revoke the gift by executing and delivering to the donee a signed statement, making an oral statement in the presence of two (2) persons and communicating the same to the donee, making a statement during a terminal illness or injury addressed to an attending physician and communicating the same to the donee, or keeping a signed card or document on his person or in his effects.

TIPS ON COMPLETING THE FORMS The form(s) in this packet may contain “form fields” created using Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat (“.pdf” format). “Form fields” facilitate completion of the forms using your computer.

Go to the View menu, click on Toolbars, and then select Forms. This will open the Forms toolbar. Look for the button on the Forms toolbar that resembles a shaded letter “a”. Click this button and the form fields will be visible. By clicking on the appropriate form field, you will be able to enter the needed information. In some instances, the form field and the line will disappear after information is entered. In other cases, it will not. The form was created to function in this manner. IV.
