Section 26-1B-3 - Conditions for supported decision-making agreements(a) An adult may not enter into a supported decision-making agreement as an alternative to guardianship or conservatorship unless the adult meets both of the following conditions:(1) The adult enters into the agreement voluntarily and without coercion or undue influence.(2) The adult understands the nature and effect of the agreement.(b) An adult may make, change, or revoke a supported decision-making agreement.(c) A court may not consider an adult's execution of a supported decision-making agreement as evidence of the adult's incapacity. The existence of an executed supported decision-making agreement does not preclude the adult from acting independently of the supported decision-making agreement.(d) An adult may not enter into a supported decision-making agreement under this section if the agreement supplants the authority of a guardian or conservator of the adult.(e) No third-party individual or entity may require an adult to execute a supported decision-making agreement for any purpose. For the purposes of this act, the term "third-party individual or entity" does not include a guardian or conservator.Ala. Code § 26-1B-3 (1975)
