Probably the way to make this happen is to let your close family know and to put it in writing in your will.

Wills aren't accessed until well into the process of handling a person's death. It would still be a sort of chicken and egg scenario - does their will apply, as they're not technically deceased by this State's laws?

You can get medical bracelets for certain things, maybe something along those lines?

I believe that's what a living will is for. Should make sure you have one of those as well.

Not your will. You need a advance medical directive also known as a living will. Wills are for after death.
