Do I need witnesses to sign my advance health care directive?
Witness requirements for advance health care directives vary by state. Some states require two witnesses who aren't related to you or named in your directive, while others allow notarization instead of witnesses. A few states require both witnesses and notarization. The witnesses typically can't be your healthcare agent, family members, or anyone who would inherit from your estate. Check your state's specific requirements to ensure your directive meets all execution standards.
