October 17 - 23, 2011 has been designated National Estate Planning Awareness Week. It is estimated that over 120,000,000 Americans are living with a chronic illness.

The purpose of Estate Planning Awareness Week is to encourage consumers to address these issues before they have a chance to negatively impact daily lives.

The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research sponsors a free consumer webinar "Estate and Financial Planning for those Living with Parkinson's Disease." The program will be presented by Martin M. Shenkman, author of Funding the Cure: Charitable Giving to Help The Michael J.
