Update financial and health care arrangements as soon as possible when someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or another serious illness expected to cause declining mental and physical health.

With diseases such as Alzheimer’s, the person may lack or gradually lose the ability to think clearly. This change affects his or her ability to participate meaningfully in decision making and makes early legal and financial planning even more important.

Although difficult questions often arise, advance planning can help people with Alzheimer’s and their families clarify their wishes and make well-informed decisions about health care and financial arrangements.
