FTD Care Team Spotlight: Legal Planning

Welcome to From Care to Cure, a podcast from the Massachusetts General Hospital Frontotemporal Disorders Unit.  Our sixth episode of season 2 presents a discussion between our host, Katie Brandt, the Director of Caregiver Support Services and Public Relations at the MGH FTD Unit, and attorney Pam Greenfield, Partner and Co-Founder at Birchgrove Law Collaborative, about legal planning after a diagnosis of FTD, Alzheimer’s disease and related conditions, what documents families should put in place and the gift such advanced planning is to families living alongside these conditions.

You can find an elder law attorney at the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys website: NAELA.org.

The MGH FTD Unit clinical research program is committed to providing the highest quality of care while we work tirelessly for a cure for FTD, atypical and young-onset forms of Alzheimer’s Disease and related neurological disorders. You can learn more about the MGH FTD Unit at www.FTDBoston.org.

We would like to thank Bernie Metzger for our beautiful music, an excerpt from Bernie’s composition Ramblings An FTD Journey, inspired by his wife Karen Zander’s journey with FTD.
