if you are incapacitated but don't die, what then?

The law firm where I work routinely has an area about pulling the plug, or not (vs. artificial life support forever). It's in their wills. But if they want organs donated, that should be told to the children, too. I have a will, but it's routine--just sell the assets and divide the proceeds in half, unless there's something the children feel is important to them to keep. Otherwise, I haven't specified anything in particular (I probably should do that, like the Hummels or Lladro or jewelry, etc.)

To " pull the plug " is called " A LIVING WILL " and is something VERY important to add to your Will, IF it is your wish. It MUST be in writing, as is the case with organ donations. NO ONE will take the word of a relative or friend, so get it ALL in writing ! If it isn't, even IF the family IS in favor of NO impossible methods to keep someone alive, a stranger CAN and HAS stepped in and sued the family, as a friend of the something ; I've forgotten the legal term.
