Estate Planning Is Key:
Alzheimer’s can strip away a person’s ability to manage finances, make healthcare decisions, and handle legal matters. Proper estate planning ensures that your wishes are honored when you can no longer express them. Essential steps include:
- Last Will and Testament: Defines how your assets are
distributed after death.
- General Durable Power of Attorney (POA): Appoints someone to manage financial and legal matters on your behalf.
- Health Care Power of Attorney (HCPOA): Designates someone to make healthcare decisions when you’re no longer able.
- Living Will: Specifies your preferences regarding life-sustaining treatments.
