A declaration becomes operative when it is delivered to the principal’s physician or other provider and remains valid until revoked or expired. The physician or provider shall act in accordance with an operative declaration when the principal has been found to be incapable. The physician or provider shall continue to obtain the principal’s informed consent to all mental health treatment decisions if the principal is capable of providing informed consent or refusal. [1993 c.442 §5; 2014 c.45 §17]
