Free Oklahoma Living Will Form

Oklahoma law also calls it an advance directive for health care. It is not a substitute for a financial power of attorney, and it does not require a lawyer to prepare. Keep the signed original with your other important documents, somewhere your health care agent can find it.

Signing Requirements and Laws

Under Okla. Stat. tit. 63, § 3101.4, the declarant must sign the Oklahoma living will. It must also be signed by two witnesses who are eighteen years of age or older, and they cannot be legatees, devisees, or heirs at law of the declarant.^[1]

Important Terms and Definitions

An Oklahoma living will uses specific legal terms drawn from Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes. Understanding the declarant, the attending physician, a qualified patient, life-sustaining treatment, and a terminal condition helps you read the form correctly and know what each section asks you to decide.

• Attending physician. A qualified medical professional responsible for the patient’s condition. This physician is consulted on the patient’s Advance Health Directive to know what life-sustaining treatment can be prescribed.
• Declarant. The person behind the Advance Health Directive. If the document answers questions about your health care, you are the declarant.
• Qualified patient. An adult who has issued an Advance Health Directive and has since been declared incapacitated. If you have created an Advance Health Directive and are incapacitated at the time of the medical procedure, you are a qualified patient.
• Life-sustaining treatment. Any medical procedure aimed at prolonging the process of dying rather than healing the patient.
• Terminal condition. An incurable health problem expected to result in the patient’s death within six months of diagnosis. The attending physician and another physician must both confirm this diagnosis.

The Oklahoma living will form sets out these choices in the declarant’s own words. The statutory form reads:

Advance directive for health care if i am incapable of making an informed decision regarding my health care, i direct my health care providers to follow my instructions below. i. living will if my attending physician and another physician determine that i am no longer able to make decisions regarding my medical treatment, i direct my attending physician and other health care providers, pursuant to the oklahoma advance directive act, to follow my instructions as set forth below: if i have a terminal condition, that is, an incurable and irreversible condition that even with the administration of life-sustaining treatment will, in the opinion of the attending physician and another physician, result in death within six (6) months: ____ i direct that my life not be extended by life-sustaining treatment, except that if i am unable to take food and water by mouth, i wish to receive artificially administered nutrition and hydration. initial only ____ i direct that my life not be extended by one option life-sustaining treatment, including artificially administered nutrition and hydration. ____ i direct that i be given life-sustaining treatment and, if i am unable to take food and water by mouth, i wish to receive artificially administered nutrition and hydration. _____ see my more specific instructions in paragraph (4) below.
