It is possible to revoke an advance directive by executing a new advance directive or by using the Revocation of Advance Health Care Directive document provided by this program.
Many states specify that an advance directive may be revoked at any time and in any manner. However, the best method is to provide a written, signed and dated revocation to the Agent (if any) and the appropriate health care providers.
Although other documents require a witness or notary, legal principles encourage the recognition of a revocation without the necessity of such formalities.
Note: In many states, the revocation document may be considered ineffective until your Agent and/or physician have been notified of the revocation.

If in doubt, revoke your Health Care Durable Power of Attorney. Make sure that your Revocation accurately identifies the document(s) that you wish to revoke. The full title of each document you are revoking, as stated on the document, should be identified on the Revocation.Because the attending physician or health care provider must receive notice of the Revocation, it is recommended that the Revocation be mailed by certified mail to the provider's last known address. Alternatively, a copy of the Revocation may be hand-delivered to the provider, in which case the provider should sign the document acknowledging receipt of the Revocation. The latter is a better solution, all the way around. If Declarant is residing in any health care or other related facility, a copy of the Revocation should be place in his or her Medical file.1. Make multiple copies so the original attending physician, “My physician,” has a copy as well as for your estate planning file and a separate copy for yourself.2.

However, if you do take this step, you are advised to reference the former Revocation and include it as an exhibit to your new document. Do this to keep your records in order and make sure your directives are followed without document dispute.
