Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Estate Planning for People with a Chronic Condition Or Disability
Martin M. Shenkman · 2009
75/100
👍 Worth It
One of the only comprehensive guides written specifically for people navigating estate planning while managing a chronic illness or disability, and the author brings both professional credentials and personal caregiving experience. Some jargon density and the 2009 publication date mean specific legal details need a current review, but the framework and compassionate approach remain genuinely useful. For the right reader this fills a real gap.
