National Make-A-Will Month
For patients navigating a cancer diagnosis and related treatment, there are specific estate planning considerations to prioritize. But when you’re already managing your disease, it’s hard to even know where to begin, or what questions you should ask. We want to help remove some of the complexity.
August is National Make-A-Will Month. Only 32% of Americans have a will, but everyone (regardless of age or health status) should formally document their wishes via a will. But, there’s more to planning ahead than just a will. Estate planning is more comprehensive and can ensure that your wishes for both your worldly possessions AND your health and care are followed. This month, we’re sharing a range of resources to help you plan for your future.
