The effect of the Georgia Advance Directive for Health Care Act
on the Georgia Living Will and Georgia Durable Power of Attorney
for Health Care Laws.
Georgia’s laws on advance directives changed significantly on July 1, 2007.
The Georgia Advance Directive for Health Care Act replaced the
Georgia Living Will as the new Chapter 32 of Title 31 of the Official
Code of Georgia.
Chapter 36 of Title 31 of the Official Code of Georgia creating the
Durable Power of Attorney for HealthCare was repealed and that
chapter reserved, meaning that for now, no law will be found in
Chapter 36, but the space and the Chapter number will be reserved
for future use.
The Living Will and Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care will
no longer be available as options for advance directives in Georgia.
Validly executed Living Wills created between March 28, 1986 and
June 30, 2007 remain valid until revoked.
Validly executed Durable Powers of Attorney for Health Care
created before June 30, 2007 remain valid until revoked.
To know if your current Living Will and/or Durable Power of Attorney for
Health Care is valid, find a copy of the old code sections to confirm the
witnessing requirements or consult an attorney who can compare it with the
law in effect prior to July 1, 2007.
