If your advance directive isn't being followed, the probate court can be asked to order that it be followed.

The following people can ask the Probate Court for help:

• You,
• Your agent,
• Your guardian, (if you have one),
• A health-care or social services provider or institution involved with your care,
• The Bureau of Elder and Adult Services of the Department of Human Services or
• An adult relative or adult friend.

Any one of these people can ask the court to do what is needed to get your advance directive followed. That might mean they are asking the court to stop a health care decision from going into effect, to require it to go into effect, or to make any other appropriate order regarding your health care.
