Transplant Webinar: Estate Planning 101 

February 20, 2025 – 3pm EDT

Estate planning is important for transplant patients because it allows them to choose who will manage their affairs and property if they can’t, due to transplant complications or other health issues. Through estate planning, patients can ensure their wishes are followed regarding medical treatment and how their property and assets are divided, especially since the transplant process can be financially challenging.

Join this webinar to learn about Estate Planning 101: including powers of attorney, health care directives, and wills. Presented by Steven M. Zelinger, Esquire, Estate Planning Attorney.
