It allows you to appoint a health care representative and to give specific instructions about your health care.

An advance directive must be witnessed by at least two adults witnessing either the signing of the instrument by the principal or the principal's acknowledgment of the signature of the principal. Revocation of Health Care Directive - This form is a revocation of the Advance Directive provided in Form OR-P021, which is a statutory form that allows you to express health care choices and decisions, appoint a health care representative and give specific instructions about your health care. You may revoke an advance directive or a health care decision by a health care representative if it involves the decision to withhold or withdraw life sustaining procedures or artificially administered nutrition and hydration, at any time and in any manner such as through this form by which you are able to communicate your intent to revoke. Statutory Equivalent of Living Will or Declaration - Request for Medication to End Life - Statutory form - This form allows you to express your wishes and desires regarding whether or not your life is prolonged by artificial means. You are also given the option to make an anatomical gift.
