§ 11-107. When advance directive becomes operative--Contrary or conflicting instructions given by attorney-in-fact
E. Mental health treatment instructions contained in a declaration executed in accordance with this act1 shall supersede any contrary or conflicting instructions given by an attorney-in-fact specifically for mental health treatment decisions unless the authority given to the attorney-in-fact in the advance directive for mental health treatment expressly provides otherwise.
F. Except as provided by subsection E of this section, in the event that more than one valid advance directive for mental health treatment has been executed and not revoked, the last advance directive for mental health treatment executed shall be construed to be the mental health treatment wishes of the declarant and shall become operative as provided by subsection B of this section.
G. In the absence of an advance directive for mental health treatment, the powers vested in a guardianship of the person, or grant of general health care decision-making authority or designation of health care proxy contained in an advance directive for health care or durable power of attorney with health care decision-making authority shall be deemed to include mental health treatment.
