Estate Planning for Parkinson’s: Peace of Mind for the Future

When you or a loved one is living with Parkinson’s disease (PD), planning for the future becomes more than just financial — it’s about peace of mind, security, and quality of life. Many families avoid estate planning because it feels overwhelming or uncomfortable; however, the truth is that thoughtful preparation now can ease stress later and ensure your wishes are honored.
Imagine the relief of knowing that every important decision — from medical care to long-term support — is clearly outlined and protected. Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy; it’s for anyone who wants to safeguard their future, their family, and their independence while living with Parkinson’s.
