Life planning issues affect everyone – but it’s particularly crucial for cancer patients and survivors to know how to protect their decision-making rights and options by planning in advance. It is important to enable someone who can express your medical preferences to doctors on your behalf, take care of your financial, housing and other issues if you cannot do so, state your choice of guardian for minor children, and carry out your wishes regarding the inheritance of your property. With no one appointed to uphold your choices, they could be made for you by someone you would never have chosen. Manhattan caregivers join us for this 1-hour legal presentation where we will discuss the importance of preparing key life planning documents: Health Care Proxy, Living Will, Power of Attorney, Disposition of Remains and a simple Last Will and Testament.
