Description
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. As the disease progresses, individuals with Alzheimer’s require assistance with activities of daily living, including financial management. Legal aspects related to Alzheimer’s include the protection of individual rights, financial abuse, and end-of-life decision making. Alzheimer’s patients have the right to make their own decisions while they are capable, and if they become incapacitated, a guardian can be appointed to protect their interests. Financial abuse can occur when individuals take advantage of an Alzheimer’s patient’s confusion to gain access to their assets. End-of-life decisions such as advance directives, living wills, and do-not-resuscitate orders can be difficult to navigate for patients with Alzheimer’s, and their families should ensure that their loved one’s wishes are honored. Legal protections and advocacy are important for Alzheimer’s patients and their families to ensure their rights are respected.
