Alzheimer's disease is a form of dementia characterized bythe loss of memory and other intellectual abilities to the point that thedisease interferes with daily life. About 4-5 million people in the UnitedStates have some degree of dementia, and Alzheimer's is the most common form.

There are many legal questions that need to be addressed following a diagnosisof dementia; financial questions, health care concerns, and ethical questionsand lawyers need to understand both the law and the emotions of working with aclient who has Alzheimer's disease. These questions include the following:

How do we get health care for the patient? What are the ethics of working with clients with

Alzheimer's? What options are available for health care? How are these options going to affect the patient

and the family/spouse? What is the long-term outlook for everyone? How can we protect the family assets?

Most attorneys are not accustomed todealing with a client with Alzheimer's and probably are not prepared to answerthese types of questions.

Alzheimer's and thePractice of Lawis designed to give you the knowledge needed toanswer these questions and guide your client through the arduous journey ofdealing with dementia. Including interviews with doctors, a hospice nurse, andthe leaders of the Alzheimer's Association, this handbook examines this diseaseand unique practice from every important angle.
