Advance Directives, Durable Power of Attorney, Wills, and Other Legal Considerations

Creating the right documents will safeguard your family.
A diagnosis of dementia is accompanied by important legal and financial questions: How do I protect myself and my assets? Do I need a living will? How do I set up a will or trust? Who should I designate as my power of attorney?
Now is the time to answer these questions. If you don't do it now, someone else will do it for you later.
This book will help you prepare to pass your financial information and legal responsibilities on to the people you love in a way that safeguards your future and theirs. Getting started on this process now, while you are still able to make these sorts of decisions, is important for you and those you care about.
Order now and prepare for the future. This book will help you:

• Talk to your loved ones about legal documents.
• Identify the responsibilities of a power of attorney.
• Understand the role of a health care agent.
• Recognize possible stipulations of living wills.
• Acknowledge important considerations when writing a will and creating a trust.
