Showing my child love through my advance care plan.

Community Education Attorney Tamara Kushnir Groman and Rabbi Michelle Stern join together to discuss some of the challenges to legal planning alongside ways to personalize the process. We will explain the use of powers of attorney, trusts, and guardianship to plan for the future of your loved ones. In this discussion, we will introduce the Letter of Direction as a way to capture the special qualities of your loved one as a compliment to the necessary legal documents.
