Financial Planning

Whether or not you have disability insurance, you need to give some thought to how you will handle the expense of fighting and living with your disease. You should speak with a qualified financial consultant and/or an attorney about how to allocate and/or conserve your assets.

There are many attorneys and professional financial planners who can help - but be sure whoever you choose has you and your family's best interests at heart. Ask friends for their personal recommendations, but also check the attorney's references and contact professional associations to make sure he or she is a member in good standing.

Another thing you need to consider is how your health care should be administered if your illness progresses. This planning can help you prevent the unnecessary use of your assets for unwanted and/or ineffective treatments and procedures.
