Слайд 1INCAPACITY PLANNING PART 1
FOUNDATIONAL CONCEPTS
Слайд 3WHAT IS INCAPACITY AND WHY DOES IT MATTER TO ME?
Слайд 4You probably take it for granted that you have the LEGAL
ABILITY to make your own decisions
Слайд 5This ability is known as capacity
Слайд 6Should you lose your ability to make choices, you become legally
incapacitated
Слайд 7Should this happen to you, someone else will have to make
decisions on your behalf
Слайд 9HOW DOES INCAPACITATION HAPPEN?
Слайд 10There are a lot of ways people can become incapacitated
Слайд 11If you are rendered unconscious or comatose because of an accident,
left with decreased cognitive abilities because of a medical condition such as Alzheimer’s disease, or otherwise become unable to communicate or make choices, you become incapacitated

WHAT DOES INCAPACITY PLANNING INVOLVE?
Слайд 14Incapacity planning is simply the process in which you look ahead
to the possibility of one day losing your ability to make choices, and decide to make choices now that will apply should it happen to you
Слайд 15You’ll make these choices by creating the appropriate incapacity planning tools
Слайд 18Though we will talk more about the types of tools you
will create in our next presentation, your plan will include several types of legal documents
Слайд 19These will either allow you to make decisions now that will
apply when you are incapacitated, or pass your decision-making abilities on to someone else so that person can make choices for you
