It also includes living will declaration provisions with regard to specific life sustaining procedures and treatment. Statutory Living Will - Advance Directive for Healthcare - Statutory form - This Declaration form functions in the same manner as a living will and allows you to express your wishes and desires if it is determined that your death will occur whether or not life-sustaining procedures are utilized and where the application of life-sustaining procedures would serve only to artificially prolong the dying process. It is a declaration that such procedures be withheld or withdrawn, and that you be permitted to die naturally with only the administration of medication or the performance of any medical procedure deemed necessary to provide you with comfortable care. Revocation of Statutory Living Will - This is a revocation of the wishes and desires expressed in Form PA-P023, which is a form that allows you to express your wishes and desires if it is determined that your death will occur whether or not life-sustaining procedures are utilized and where the application of life-sustaining procedures would serve only to artificially prolong the dying process. This form acts as a revocation of a previously executed living will. This form complies with all applicable state statutory laws.
