A beautiful perspective on loving a person who has dementia.

Thinking of it this way creates a boundary between me and the treacherous drop of despair.

Our services offer security and stability.

“My wife and I feel very good about our son’s future being in very capable hands. Having made the decision to go with Scout a few years ago is the best decision we have made to secure a safe, stable and secure life for our son when we are no longer able.

Most estate plans focus on distributing assets after death.

Most people don’t consider another, arguable more important part of an estate plan: the critical time period when they are alive but unable to manage their own affairs.

We call this time period between now and dead.

THIS is where estat planning attorneys and their clients should focus. This planning will give clients a sense of calm because they know their preferences will be followed.

The critical time period for an estate plan is between now and dead. Clients should focus on this aspect of their estate plan instead of spending all their time and energy focusing on disposing of their assets after death.

In our current blog series we explore ways to improve guardianships in Indiana. In part 3, we discuss ways to increase the quality of guardianships in Indiana.

One way we suggest to improve the work of professional guardians in Indiana is to require a certain level of training or certification. Currently, there are no such standards in Indiana.

In this blog series, I am discussing the need for a better guardianship system in Indiana. In the first installment, I introduced the idea of the three-legged guardianship stool of access, quality, and accountability. In my last blog post I discussed ways to increase access to guardianships. Today I...
