Q. I am applying for Medical Assistance in Dying and require witnesses for my Record of Patient Request form. Apparently the witnesses cannot be a beneficiary under my Will or a recipient in any other way of a financial or material benefit resulting from my death. I am also advised that the witnesses cannot be an owner or operator of a health care facility where I am receiving treatment or reside, nor can they be involved in providing health care or personal care services to me. That limits the pool somewhat so I am hoping that this is something your office can do for me?
A. Yes, we will act as witnesses for your Record of Patient Request for Medical Assistance in Dying. Please contact my office directly to make arrangements if you are unable to attend at our office to sign.
