It would be a good idea for you to speak to a lawyer, or at least go to a legal aid clinic ...try one connected to a law school near to where you are.

Let me translate this question to English:
Is a living will valid without the signature of the person making the living will?
Answer: No. Every state requires a signature on a living will. Some states require the signature to be notarized and other states simply require a certain number of witnesses. The exact procedure to form a living will will vary by state, but they all require the signature fo the person who is the subject of the living will.
Your best bet is to see a local estate planning attorney.

I don't understand the question either. I will take a guess.
It depends on the jurisdiction, but I would think most, if not all, states require the person's signature or a legal representative's signature for the living will to effectuate the person's intent. A living will usually requires the same statutory formalities as a "normal" will.

2 cups bread flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
1 cup butter or margarine
2 eggs
1 cup chocolate chips
1/3 cup Macadamia nuts
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
Mix dry ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl
Add Butter, Vanilla and mix thoroughly
Add eggs one at a time mix
Add Macadamia nuts and chocolate chips and stir
I hope you did not forget to preheat the oven to 375!
Let chill one hour.
There goes the utility bill, you left the oven on for an
hour and a half with nothing in there.
Finally,arrange the dough into a shape that represents
the shape of Arkansas and place on an ungreased cookie
sheet and bake for 32 minutes or until your timer goes off
which was set at 32 minutes. Place the finished product
on a cooling rack and enjoy later in the evening with a tall
glass of cold milk.

ANY legal document requires the person's signature for it to be valid. That includes all wills.
I had a problem 3 years ago. I have a medical disability that can really mess with my head sometimes. Once I was taking a walk and passed out. Fortunately I had my medical condition and current medications printed on the outside of the wallet, and I had passed out in public. I had just enough time to give my wallet to the paramedics and they took me to the hospital. I was out for a few days and had things had gotten so bad that I had to be shocked back to life, at least once.
I had told my brother-in-law and my sister what I wanted done for me in the case of illness or death. They could make any medical decisions on my behalf (luckily they didn’t have to) since they were the closest next of kin (everyone else lives much farther away). I had given them a copy of my living will, but the nurse told me that as soon as I lost conscious and my next of kin was called they could make medical decisions on my behalf. Of course this is the law in my area and it might be different in your area.
It is best to have a living will signed before hand, but when it comes to making medical decisions the closest next of kin should be able to do it. The problem comes up when there are more than one next of kin present and they have differing ideas.

Assuming you mean the document required to give authority to someone to make medical decisions for you if you are not competent, it requires the person's signature or "mark" witnessed by someone.
If the living will was prepared in accordance with the person's instructions or wishes, and the person became incompetent before signing it, it would still be evidence of the person's wishes with regard to specified medical procedures.

I think what you are saying is that if some other person makes out a living will for another person, but the witness who should have signed it didn't someone else signed it for them, then the answer would be no.

As a health care professional, you should have some insight as to the validity of a living will, with or without a legitimate signature on it. You'd be well advised to consult a qualified attorney on this question!!!

No! From what I understand, the only way it can be considered legal is if the person for whom it is written up signs it and witnesses sign it. Theonly way to counterit is if you can prove that the person was forced to sign it or that there is some discrepancy. Advice...talk to a lawyer.

You have to legally sign the living will and in some states have it notorized. Without a signature it's not legal.
