Future Legal Planning

Much like helping a loved one with Alzheimer's plan a financial future, legal planning is also important to consider.  People in the early stages of Alzheimer's will often be able to direct an attorney and establish legal protection.  People in the later stages will need much more help with this.  A good attorney should be consulted to establish:

  • Wills
  • Durable power of attorney
  • Advanced directives
  • Joint bank accounts
  • Medical directives (DNR, etc.)
