Signing Requirements
Only the principal is required to sign the advance directive, although it is recommended that two witnesses also sign the form.[1]
State Definition
“Advance health-care directive” means an individual instruction or a power of attorney for health care made, in either case, while the individual has capacity.[3]
Statutory Form
An optional form for advance directives is made available under New Mexico law, but its use is not required for a directive to be valid.[4]
