Signing Requirements
The directive must be signed by two witnesses.[1] If it is a mental health care advance directive, the form must also be notarized.[2]
Registration
Montana’s End-of-Life Registry allows for the digital storing of advance directives in a secure database.[3] To register a directive, the declarant must complete a Consumer Registration Agreement form and mail it, along with a copy of the advance directive, to:
Office of Consumer Protection P.O. Box 200151 Helena, MT 59620-1410
After 2-3 weeks, the Office of Consumer Protection will send a letter to confirm whether the directive has been registered. It is 100% free to register an advance directive.
State Definition
Advance directives are referred to in Montana law as “declarations.”
“Declaration” means a document executed in accordance with the requirements of MT Code § 50-9-103.[5]
