The things I describe in my above post did not happen overnight from the first signs of my Dad's Alzheimer's to my Mom's passing was nearly 10 years. Dad passed at 93, Mom at 91. I would suggest a good attorney or law firm that has a specialty in elder care. It is best , and easier to do many of the legal things while the parents are "competent" Understanding and co-operative. My Dad understood what was happening to him and took steps to protect them. We are doing some of these things now because we understand what can happen. We do not like to think about these things because they are "unpleasant"
But what can happen if you do not..is very unpleasant. In the first years of our lives our parents took care of us.We could not have survived without them. We can do no less for them in the last few years of thir lives.
