Estate Planning for People with a Chronic Condition or Disability

This is the first comprehensive estate-planning guide for those living with a chronic disease or disability. This book is targeted at those planning for the disbursement of their estates, no matter their size.

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
