ORS 127.722 Revocation of declaration

(1)

A declaration may be revoked in whole or in part at any time by the principal if the principal is not incapable. A revocation is effective when a capable principal communicates the revocation to the attending physician or other provider. The attending physician or other provider shall note the revocation as part of the principal’s medical record.

(2)

The authority of the principal’s spouse as attorney-in-fact is revoked if a petition for dissolution or annulment of marriage is filed, the principal is not incapable and the principal or the court does not reaffirm the appointment after the filing of the petition.
