Estate and Financial Planning for People Living with COPD

Martin Shenkman · 2012
68/100
👎 Skip It

For a COPD patient or their family trying to understand what financial and legal decisions need to happen — and urgently — this credentialed CPA/MBA/JD guide fills a real gap that general estate planning books don't touch. The compassionate seven-step framework is practical and condition-specific. The 2012 publication date means some legal provisions have shifted, so treat it as a starting framework, not a final authority.
