My husband has Lewy Body dementia and was diagnosed in 2020. I saw symptoms of dementia before that. We had our trusts and wills done in 2017. However, we had Durable Powers of Attorney drawn up because the federal government and some other agencies will only accept a DPOA and not a POA. When my husband could no longer make decisions regarding finances, I asked his neurologist to write a letter activating the DPOA. It's my experience that federal government agencies won't accept the POA unless the word "DURABLE" is in the title of the document. I keep a copy of the DPOA in my husband's emergency binder. The bank, hospitals, financial advisor, doctors, and others have copies or at least are aware of the situation. I was told that because my husband was diagnosed with dementia, if he had an accident while driving, we could possibly lose everything if we got sued. He doesn't drive any longer, and I have taken him off our car insurance.
