Why Planning Early Matters
One of the biggest mistakes families make is waiting until there is a crisis.
As Alzheimer’s progresses, legal and financial options can become more limited. Planning early gives your loved one a greater opportunity to participate in decisions and helps the entire family understand what should happen next.
You do not need to solve everything today.
You just need to know your next step.

A Note From Kristen
Hi, I’m Kristen Mackintosh, founder of Mackintosh Law, PLLC, and many people know me as The Happy Lawyer.
I’ve worked with many families navigating Alzheimer’s, dementia, incapacity, and long-term care decisions. One thing I’ve learned is that families rarely need more information thrown at them.
They need a roadmap.
I created this guide to give you a place to start, help you organize the questions that matter, and make an overwhelming situation feel a little more manageable.
