Revocation of Health Care Directive (New Mexico)

This form provides for partial or total revocation of the Advanced Health-Care Directive provided in Form NM-P021, which allows you to give instructions about your own health care, to name someone else to make health-care decisions for you and to designate a physician to have primary responsibility for your health care. You may revoke the designation of an agent either by a signed writing such as this form or by personally informing the supervising health-care provider. If you cannot sign, a written revocation must be signed for you and be witnessed by two witnesses, each of whom has signed at your direction and in your presence and in the presence of each other. You may revoke all or part of an advance health-care directive, other than the designation of an agent, at any time and in any manner such as through this form that communicates an intent to revoke. See Uniform Health-Care Decisions Act [24-7A-1 to 24-7A-17 NMSA 1978]. (more...)
