Planning for the future means more than just finances.
One important document many families may not be familiar with is the Dartmouth Dementia Directive.
Unlike a traditional healthcare directive, it allows individuals to document their wishes specifically for future care if they develop dementia—while they are still able to make informed decisions.
As CPAs, we often help clients plan for their taxes, retirement, estate transfers, and long-term financial security. We encourage everyone to think about planning for healthcare decisions as well. Having these conversations early can provide clarity for loved ones and ensure your wishes are respected.
If you or a family member are updating your estate plan, consider discussing the Dartmouth Dementia Directive with your attorney and healthcare providers.
Financial planning and life planning go hand in hand.
