Hi Joan,

I've seen similar family planning needs where advanced planning is needed due to dementia. Things to consider are limited financial power of attorney, setting up an estate and advanced directives for your health.

You will eventually need legal help with setting this up but would recommend reading The Alzheimer's Advisor: A Caregiver's Guide to Dealing with the Tough Legal and Practical Issues by Vaughn E. James to get an overview of the kinds of things you should cover for your future and your family.
