Description
There are many small and not-so-small considerations to be made when you or a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or any terminal illness. This book will help you learn what decisions are necessary and when you should start making those decisions. With the emotional weight of dealing with terminal disease, these decisions can seem like too much to bear. The checklists and easy-to-follow instructions in this book will start you on the path to tackling these issues one by one. You'll learn things like what information you must collect and share with your family about your finances, how to transfer wealth without impacting Medicaid, and how to review and select the right kind of insurance policy for your needs. You will also learn about drafting a power of attorney and healthcare proxy and about creating a living will and advance directives.
