How the New Mexico 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.
Advance Health-Care Directive — Instructions for Health Care — New Mexico
This directive is assembled under the maintained New Mexico framework; mandatory state rules control over inconsistent generic wording. Authority: N.M. Stat. § 24-7A-4 et seq. Activation / scope: Individual instructions under New Mexico UHCDA; optional form can be modified/completed in part. Pregnancy: No current pregnancy override is encoded for this treatment-instruction product; the cited state authority still controls if amended. Existing agent / directive: Agent appointment is optional and omitted. Do not represent as EMS order. This document does not create or replace a healthcare-agent appointment.
Execution — New Mexico
Use current UHCDA signature/execution requirements; preserve official optional form if used. Witness mode: NONEREQUIREDFORINDIVIDUALINSTRUCTION (count: 0) Notary mode: NONE An individual health-care instruction may be oral or written; separate EMS medical orders have their own execution requirements. 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 — New Mexico

Known coverage limit
County, municipal, court, and agency rules may still apply
Requirements may also depend on a New Mexico 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.
