How the Michigan lane enters this draft
Locke selects this document family’s maintained state configuration after the state answer is saved. County, address, and later interview answers narrow any clauses that use those facts.
Living Will / Treatment Wishes Statement — Michigan
Michigan does not give this treatment-wishes statement the same independent statutory binding effect as a statutory Living Will. It is generated as guidance/evidence and must not be described as a guaranteed binding statutory instrument. Authority: Michigan advance-directive guidance Activation / scope: Treatment wishes provide evidence/guidance; Michigan does not recognize living wills as independently legally binding in the same way as patient-advocate designation. Pregnancy: Current law materially limits or suspends treatment instructions during pregnancy. The state pack must disclose the restriction and may not offer a choice that law does not permit. Existing agent / directive: Recommend coordination with Patient Advocate Designation without bundling it into this product. This document does not create or replace a healthcare-agent appointment.
Execution — Michigan
Use a clear signed/directed statement and Michigan-specific disclaimer; do not claim statutory living-will enforceability. Witness mode: NONSTATUTORYGUIDANCE (count: 0) Notary mode: NONE Michigan treatment-wishes statements are guidance/evidence; do not imply a statutory living-will execution safe harbor. Principal: the information supplied in the interview Principal signature: Date: the information supplied in the interview No generic witness line is added where the maintained treatment-instruction rule does not require one. No generic notarial requirement is added. Revocation: Use the current state statute/form revocation method; oral, written, destruction, notice-to-provider, and capacity limits vary by jurisdiction.
Separate Medical Order — Michigan
In Michigan, do not represent this Living Will as the separate clinician/EMS medical-order instrument identified here. Separate medical-order instrument: Michigan MI-POST. This Living Will is not represented as that clinician/EMS medical order.

Known coverage limit
County, municipal, court, and agency rules may still apply
Requirements may also depend on a Michigan county, municipality, city ordinance, rent board, local court, recorder, clerk, licensing authority, zoning district, property location, or another local body. Collecting a county and address does not mean Locke has identified every applicable local rule.
