You, your agent, your guardian (if you have one), a health care provider involved with your care, an adult friend or relative, or the Department of Human Services' Bureau of Elder and Adult Services can ask a probate court to order that your instructions or a decision of your agent not be honored.
Some arguments that could be raised might include:
- You were incapacitated when you wrote the instructions.
- When you wrote the instructions you lacked information - maybe about a new service that you couldn't have known about-so that your instructions can't be considered informed as to the services.
- To carry out your instructions would endanger your life.
- To carry out your instructions might harm other individuals.
