Cindy is in her early 70s, leads an active lifestyle, and currently has no major health issues. She owns a home that she bought with her husband, who passed away several years ago. Cindy inherited a large sum of money and several other financial assets when her husband died, but she hasn’t made any plans to manage the wealth or protect it in the event that something happens to her. Her family has a history of mental illness and she knows that her mother suffered from something similar to Alzheimer’s, though the condition was never properly diagnosed. Does she really need to consult with an elder law attorney? After all, she’s healthy and financially comfortable right now.
