Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Regarding a small family business, husband, wife, and son on legal documents. Husband in early stages of Alzheimer's, can no longer work or drive. Should his name be removed from all business documents?
1. How is the business registered? Is it as a corporation, assumed name, limited liability partnership? And how are each of the family named - as officers (i.e., in a corporation), as partners, shareholders, or what?
2. What are the liability issues? If you husband should, e.g., make a bad decision, is it binding on the business, or can it be overridden by other family members?
3. Bottom line is whether or not he can make decisions that affect the business and other family members. If he does have financial or decision making authority, you probably would want to file an amendment to the incorporation articles, assumed name or partnership papers to remove him from actively participating in the company's business.
4. If #3 is yes, you probably would also want to remove his name from any business checking or other financial accounts.
JohnJoe, no need to feel corrected - I just shared a different viewpoint. I thought your compassion was laudable and hope that I can have that level of insight as my own journey proceeds.
Send raises an issue that might ease the transition out of the business. You could still consult him on issues that don't require executive decision making, allowing him to still feel useful and needed.
I agree with Vegas Lady, see an attorney. Business arrangements can get pretty dicey and if you think Medicaid is needed down the road, you need to protect the corporation from a lien.
JohnJoe, there are legal ramifications to someone's name being on incorporation documents. An LLC is a different corporate configuration with different liability issues, but if he's president of a corporation or the primary name on an assumed name entity, his actions or inactions could affect the business in many ways, including very negative ways.
Your concern for his efforts is laudable, but the issue isn't respect - it's financial and legal. And given his dementia, he may not really understand, or if he did, he may not interpret this as disrespect. On the contrary, it could be construed as honoring him by attempting to preserve the business he created by ensuring that it's relieved from decisions made while not capable of understanding them.
Inquire with your attorney about making him chairman emeritus. As a member of any business entity, whether a partnership, LLC, or other, he is expected to function in that role and, if he can no longer do so reliably, it is time for him to step down.
