A Missouri living will is a document through which a person, known as the principal, states that in the case they become very sick (such sickness that leaves them with little chances of recovering), their life span should or shouldn’t be extended. The use of this document is backed up by Chapter 459 (Declarations, Life Support). It is however required, under 459.015(4), that two witnesses imprint their signatures on this document.
As the principal/declarant, you are to fill in essential details like the date, your name, your signature, and your home/mailing address, at the top part of the document.
You are to do the above in the presence of two witnesses who would then imprint their signatures, enter their names, and their mailing addresses to prove that you (the principal) were in your right mind when the document was filled.
If the principal would like to revoke/cancel this living will, they can do so by entering their name, imprinting their signature, and writing the correct date the document was filled on the form.
To transfer the power to make healthcare decisions to trusted a trusted agent, you are to fill in your name, home/mailing address, the name of the health care agent, his/her home/mailing address, cell phone number for both his/her home and workplace, the name of a substitute care agent (in case the first one chosen is unavailable), his/her home or mailing address and cell phone number.
While signing the document, legal personnel (Notary) is required to be present and to legalize the document by adding the state’s seal to it.
