Book Description
COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is a progressive disease that makes it hard to breathe. Emphysema and chronic asthmatic bronchitis are the two main conditions that make up COPD. Estate- planning is crucial for those living with a chronic condition, as they 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. It includes: how to write your will; how to determine how much life insurance your family needs; and how to figure out whether you need a living trust. You can also learn about powers of attorney, and when to work with a lawyer, if you need to. “”Estate Planning for Someone with COPD”” covers all eventualities that a person with this disease may counter when planning their estate.
