§ 16-36-7-44 — Material conflict between multiple documents

If a declarant has become and remains
incapacitated and has previously executed a valid advance directive
under this chapter and executed:
(1) an appointment of a health care representative executed under
IC 16-36-1 before January 1, 2023;
(2) a durable power of attorney granting health care powers and
executed under IC 30-5 before January 1, 2023; or
(3) a similar advance directive executed by the declarant under
the laws of another state in which the declarant was physically
present at the time of signing; and
if a material conflict exists between multiple documents described in
this section or if a material conflict exists between the health care
decisions that different health care representatives or other authorized
agents propose to make under the multiple documents, or if there is a
material difference between the documents, then the document signed
last by the declarant and the authority of the named representatives or
agents in that document controls.
