 Sometimes, Love Isn’t Enough. You Need Legal Authority.

 Whether it’s dementia, disability, or an unexpected health crisis, there comes a point when someone you love can’t manage their own needs. But caregiving alone isn’t enough. You need legal authority to make decisions, access records, or protect them from harm.

Avoid These Common Mistakes

  • An elderly parent with dementia or Alzheimer’s is no longer safe managing their finances
  • A disabled adult child needs long-term decision-making support
  • A loved one is being financially exploited, but no one has the authority to intervene
  • Medical decisions are needed, but HIPAA blocks access
  • There’s no power of attorney in place and the person no longer has legal capacity
