In Virginia, an advance directive must be in writing and witnessed by two adults. The witnesses can include anyone over 18, including a blood relative or a healthcare provider. Notarization is not required for the advance directive to be valid in Virginia. While involving an attorney is optional, it is not necessary.
Any competent person eighteen years of age or older can make a living will by signing it in front of two or more witnesses who in turn also sign the document, attesting that the document was signed in their presence. These witnesses must be at least eighteen years old and cannot be a spouse or a blood relative.
In a VA advance directive, you can say how strictly you want your wishes followed. You can tell your health care agent to do just what your living will says, or you can tell them to make the decision they think is best for you even if it isnt what the living will says.
An adult may use a legal document called an advance directive to appoint someone (an agent) to make health care decisions when he or she is not able to do so. The advance directive may also give health care instructions. An advance directive helps doctors and family members know and respect the persons wishes.
