Estate-planning is crucial for those living with a chronic disease or disability: individuals must express their preferences whether to receive long-term care at home rather than in a nursing home in the event that they become more disabled, and it is more important for one who has a chronic illness to name a power of attorney. Estate Planning for People with a Chronic Condition or Disability covers all of those topics plus:
- How to write your will
- How to determine how much life insurance your family needs
- How to figure out whether you need a living trust
- Learn about powers of attorney
- When to work with a lawyer, if you need to
The book also includes downloadable sample forms for:
- Power of Attorney
- Living Will
- Designation of Proxy for Financial and Health Decisions"
