What legal preparations should be made in the early stages of Alzheimer's?

During the early stages of Alzheimer's, before problems become more serious, you need to plan while you and your loved one can plan jointly, to prepare for the weeks, months and years ahead. I recommend that you do this with the help of an elder law attorney who is familiar with all the important documents that need to be drawn up before your loved one becomes so disabled that he or she can no longer participate in this process. Have your loved one give you power of attorney.

This will allow your loved one to make decisions for themselves for as long as they are able; that authority will then pass on to you when they are no longer able to do so. You will also want to establish yourself or another trusted member of the family to be appointed as healthcare surrogate, to make needed medical decisions related to Alzheimer’s or other illnesses throughout the remainder of your loved one’s life. This is also an excellent time and probably the last time, to review your loved one’s will, and to amend it, if necessary.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
