Can I have more than one Health Care Surrogate?
The maker can also explicitly designate an Alternate Surrogate. The Alternate Surrogate may assume
the duties as Surrogate if the original Surrogate is unwilling or unable to perform his or her duties. If the
maker is physically unable to sign the designation, he or she may, in the presence of witnesses, direct
that another person sign the document. An exact copy of the designation must be provided to the
Health Care Surrogate. Unless the designation states a time of termination, the designation will remain
in effect until revoked by its maker.
Can the Living Will and the Health Care Surrogate designation be revoked?
Both the Living Will and the Designation of Health Care Surrogate may be revoked by the maker at any
time by a signed and dated letter of revocation; by physically canceling or destroying the original
document; by an oral expression of one's intent to revoke; or by means of a later executed document
which is materially different from the former document. It is very important to tell the attending physician
that the Living Will and Designation of Health Care Surrogate has been revoked.
Where can I go to obtain legal advice on this issue?

Bar Lawyer Referral Service at 1-800-342-8011, or the local lawyer referral service or legal aid office
