If you have a Health Care Directive, when should it be reviewed?
- Due to the advances in medicine, you should consider reviewing your Health Care Directive every FIVE years.
- A change in your MARITAL STATUS should dictate a review.
- If a family member who you have named is not readily AVAILABLE, for example, moves out of state, has too many personal responsibilities, or refuses to discuss your personal affairs.
- A DECLINE in your personal health should trigger a complete review of your estate documents.
- The DEATH of a friend, relative, or agent.
- If your Health Care Directive or Medical Power of Attorney was signed before November 30, 2006, you should have them reviewed. Act 169 of 2006 changed health care decision-making in Pennsylvania after that date.
