Laws
Statute: The Kentucky Revised Statutes Title 26, Section 311.621 – 311.647.
Signing Requirements: To be valid in Kentucky, your medical power of attorney must either be acknowledged by a notary public or signed in the presence of two witnesses (who must also sign the document). If you’re physically unable to sign, you can direct someone else to sign in your presence (Ky. Rev. Stat. §311.625).
