An adult or emancipated minor with capacity may execute a power of attorney for health care and may authorize the agent to make any health-care decision that the principal could have made while having capacity.

Statutory Equivalent of Living Will or Declaration - This form allows you to express your wishes and desires regarding whether or not your life is prolonged by artificial means. Uniform Anatomical Gift Act Donation – 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 who is at least eighteen years of age, or under eighteen years of age with parental consent, may give all or any part of his body for any statutorily allowed purpose. A gift of all or part of the body may be made by will or by a document other than a will. The document, which may be a card designed to be carried on the person, must be signed by the donor in the presence of two witnesses who must sign the document in his presence or before a notary or other official authorized to administer oaths generally. This form must be witnessed and the signature notarized. Revocation of Anatomical Gift Donation - This form revokes the anatomical gift made in Forms MO-P025 and MO-P025A that designate 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 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. Any document of gift which has not been delivered to the donee may be revoked by the donor in the manner set out above or by destruction, cancellation, or mutilation of the document and all executed copies of the document. A gift made by a will may also be amended or revoked in the manner provided for amendment or revocation of wills, or as set out above. Specific reference is made to the earlier executed Anatomical Gift Donation. See Missouri Revised Statutes 194.210 to 194.290.

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. They do not limit your ability to print the form “in blank” and complete with a typewriter or by hand. It is also helpful to be able to see the location of the form fields. 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.
