The attending physician or other health care provider shall note the revocation as part of the declarant’s medical record.
Subd. 2.Effect of marriage dissolution or annulment on designation of proxy.
Unless a living will under this chapter expressly provides otherwise, if after executing a living will the declarant’s marriage is dissolved or annulled, the dissolution or annulment revokes any designation of the former spouse as a proxy to make health care decisions for the declarant.
