Presented by JoAnna Cohen, E.I.

Environmental engineer, licensed Life & Health professional, and family estate planner. I built my own family's plan first — for my parents, a brother with a disability, and a father with Alzheimer's — and I translate the complicated parts into plain language and a clear next step. Attorneys draft the documents; I make sure the pieces actually fit together.
