Who can witness the signing of my advance directives? In order for your advance directives to be valid, they must be signed in the presence of two witnesses and usually a notary. Persons who may NOT serve as witnesses include your agent named in your durable power of attorney, spouse, heir, attending physician or person supervised by your physician. Thus, the witnesses must be unrelated to you and not financially responsible for your health care. In addition, the witnesses must be at least 18 years old.
