Many people are unprepared to deal with the legal and financial consequences of a serious illness such as Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia. Legal and medical experts encourage people recently diagnosed with a serious illness — particularly one expected to cause mental and physical decline — to examine and update their financial and health care arrangements as soon as possible. Consider connecting with these professionals to assist with the advance care planning process:
- Health care providers
- Elder law attorneys
- Geriatric care managers
Learn how these professionals can support your legal and financial planning. This information is also available in Spanish.
