SUMMARY OF STATE LIVING WILL LEGISLATION
NORTH CAROLINA
Synopsis: North Carolina has a weak living will statute. The
law does not place an obligation on hospitals/physicians to
effectuate the living will, but, does permit physicians to
implement living wills. No form for living will is suggested.
Consequently, any reasonable form, for example the "Weekend
Law Firm" (TM) uniform living will can be used. Please
also consider executing a living will for any State that you
spend more than a few weeks per year, or where you are a
temporary resident.
Statute number: N.C. Gen. Stat. 90-320
Statute title: "North Carolina Right to Natural Death Act"
Governmental Agency to contact for more information: None
specified
A specific form of living will is not provided
Witness requirements: None are specified by the statute.
Recording of the living will is not provided for
Means of revocation of the living will are not described in the
statute. In general, a document which specifically revokes the
living will is effective, further, destruction of the living
will (tearing, burning) is also normally recognized as a
revocation.
