     145C.06 When effective. 

    A health care directive is effective for a health care 
 decision when: 

    (1) it meets the requirements of section 145C.03, 
 subdivision 1; and 

    (2) the principal, in the determination of the attending 
 physician of the principal, lacks decision-making capacity to 
 make the health care decision; or if other conditions for 
 effectiveness otherwise specified by the principal have been met.

    A health care directive is not effective for a health care 
 decision when the principal, in the determination of the 
 attending physician of the principal, recovers decision-making 
 capacity; or if other conditions for effectiveness otherwise 
 specified by the principal have been met.
