Lecture: Life Planning Issues for Cancer @ Kings County Hospital
Location:
451 Clarkson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203 (C-building 4th Floor-Red Door)
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. This legal
presentation 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.
