Webinar Description

Dementia changes everything—how decisions are made, who can make them, and when critical planning opportunities may be lost forever. Yet many end-of-life plans are created without fully accounting for the realities of cognitive decline, leaving families, advisors, and care teams unprepared when dementia becomes part of the equation.

In this webinar, Veronica Darling and Jessica Empeno, bring together legal, clinical, and planning perspectives to help advisors and professionals better guide clients when dementia is a possibility, a known risk, or an early diagnosis.

What You’ll Learn

From the Legal Perspective:

  • Which estate planning and end-of-life documents are and are not effective once dementia is present
  • Common legal pitfalls in dementia-focused planning (capacity issues, timing risks, and document limitations)
  • How advance directives, powers of attorney, and other planning tools may fail—or succeed—depending on how and when they are drafted
  • Key legal concerns that arise when clients attempt to plan too late

From the Clinical Perspective:

  • Dementia as an illness: types, progression, and what families can realistically expect over time
  • How cognitive decline affects decision-making, communication, and autonomy
  • Practical guidance on how to begin difficult conversations after a dementia diagnosis
  • Supporting clients and families as values, preferences, and abilities evolve
