(A) A declaration executed in accordance with this chapter shall not supersede a valid declaration governing the use or continuation, or the withholding or withdrawal, of life-sustaining treatment executed under Chapter 2133. of the Revised Code.

(B) A declaration executed in accordance with this chapter does not revoke a valid durable power of attorney for health care created under Chapter 1337. of the Revised Code, but a declaration so executed shall supersede the designation of an attorney in fact made in a valid health care power of attorney under Chapter 1337. of the Revised Code with respect to the mental health treatment of the declarant.
