Plan for your Disability. People usually become disabled before they die. Under the law, you can appoint the right person to make decisions for you about your finances and medical treatment if you can’t make them yourself. Washington law also lets you tell your physicians, in writing, how you want to be treated if you suffer from a terminal condition or enter a permanent vegetative state. You should make these decisions yourself, not let the courts or family members you don’t want take control of you and your affairs.
