The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "The new tip sheet is as follows:

1. Tackle the legal aspects. Having an up-to-date will is crucial for making things go more smoothly for your survivors and ensuring that your wishes are honored. But there are several other simple yet important legal documents you should obtain as well:

• A living will, which records your wishes regarding the measures that should be taken to extend your life
• A medical power of attorney, which empowers a trusted individual to make medical decisions for you when you're unable to do so
• A medical privacy release, which gives health care providers permission to keep named family and friends informed about your medical situation
• A durable power of attorney, which lets you identify someone else to manage your financial affairs in the event you're incapacitated."

The Center says, "We cannot emphasize it enough about how incredibly vital it is for all diagnosed victims of mesothelioma to get the best possible information when it comes to this rare form of cancer. We believe we are the best branded resource in the nation for the most skilled mesothelioma attorneys and/or the best possible mesothelioma compensation.

"However, we do more than get diagnosed victims, or their family members to the nation's best mesothelioma compensation attorneys. We also focus on finding the best treatment options and this new customized checklist that includes everything you'll need to know about this rare cancer."
