Floridians who are deemed terminally ill or mortally wounded through professional assesment by a physician might have Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) documents in their possession or filed with their health care provider[s]. However, if a competent, cohabitating legal spouse of at least three consecutive years--and who is the Health Care Surrogate for the patient--asserts that their totally uncommunicative husband or wife possesses or filed an outdated or obsolete set of POLST documents, the presenting spouse's countervening medical order[s] shall take precedent over any order[s] in the aforementioned POLST.
