Planning for disability or incapacity is something that many individuals overlook. We all anticipate death at some point, but many do not realize that an illness or injury is just as likely. If you become disabled and unable to care for yourself, you want to make sure that your intentions are clearly stated. From financial to healthcare decisions, incapacity planning can encompass many important issues that disabled individuals and their family members may face.
