Mental Health Living Will, Liability for
Compliance
Pennsylvania specifically excuses physicians,
mental health care
providers, and any other person from all criminal and civil liability
for following the terms of a valid
mental health living will in good faith. This removes a potential
barrier to compliance with mental health living wills, which might otherwise
be viewed as a likely source of litigation against mental health care
providers.
