Anatomical Gift
An individual of sound mind and 18 years of age or more may give all or any part of that individual's body for any statutorily allowed purpose.
A gift of all or part of the body may be made by will. The gift becomes effective upon the death of the testator without waiting for probate. If the will is not probated, or if it is declared invalid for testamentary purposes, the gift, to the extent that it has been acted upon in good faith, is valid and effective.
A gift of all or part of the body may also be made by a document other than a will.
If the gift is made by the donor or the guardian to a specified donee, the will, card or other document or executed copy may be delivered to the donee at any time to expedite the appropriate procedures immediately after death.
Delivery is not necessary to the validity of the gift.
If the will, card or other document or executed copy has been delivered to a specified donee, the donor may amend or revoke the gift by:
1. The execution and delivery to the donee of a signed statement;
2. An oral statement made in the presence of two persons and communicated to the donee;
3. A statement during a terminal illness or injury addressed to an attending physician and communicated to the donee; or
4. A signed card or document found on the individual or in the individual's effects, and made known to the donee.
A guardian may amend or revoke the gift by the execution and delivery to the donee of a signed statement.
Any document of gift which has not been delivered to the donee may be revoked by the donor or guardian in the manner set out above or by destruction, cancellation or mutilation of the document and all executed copies.
