There is not much you can do. There is no right to see someone else's will before they die. There is no right to see a trust. You can consult a probate attorney in your area, but until your mother passes away, you have no right to the will.

NO. That's a stupid name!!! Do you want your daughter to be teased for her whole life?

your rights can be taken away as your brain is no longer capable of making desisons

There are many different forms of dementia and the exact reasons why it occurs may not yet be fully understood. But generally speaking lack of sleep isn't in itself a cause as far as I know, although it might be a contributory factor. The NHS recommend good quality regular sleep as a precaution against developing dementia as well as maintaining good health generally.

I do believe surgery hastens dementia, especially in elderly who are already fragile and it may be that these patients have dementia prior to surgery and anaesthesia exacerbated the condition.

You would have to prove before the death of the parent if they were of unsound mind. This can only be done by more than one doctor. The problem with Dementia (my mother had it and died in June/04) had dementia and she did change her Will many times. She took me out of it and left everything to my brother. My brother thought it was very unfair, but we must remember, we are dealing with a person who is not thinking clearly. The other choice you have is to seek legal counsel and take it to court. If the lawyer can prove that there was indeed records from your parent's medical records showing they had Dementia and were of unsound mind, then you have a chance and can use the former Will. I was caregiver to my mother, and of course when she got Dementia (we didn't know it at the time) she wouldn't speak to me, but only to my brother. I honestly didn't do anything wrong, but in my mother's mind she imagined I did. Dementia is a cruel disease and is a form of Alzheimer's. My mother had changed her Will on several occasions to suit the many moods of Dementia, so I told my brother that since we both looked after my parents if the Estate was not divided fairly I would contest the Will. Sounds crass I know, and I trusted my brother, but was doubtful of my sister-in-law. Money can make people do terrible things. Most importantly it was some of my mothers and late fathers possessions (small things) that I wanted. Contesting the Will can hold up the release of the Estate for 3 years or more. My brother and I always got along, he thought I got a raw deal anyway, and it went smooth as butter and we divided everything equally. See that lawyer! Good luck Marcy Any person with a vested interest can contest a will. Vested interest is defined as someone who is named as a heir/beneficiary or would have been an heir under the state's intestate laws. The most up-to-date will is the one that is deemed valid. For a will to be valid it has to be made by a person of "sound mind" be witnessed and signed by at least two persons and be properly dated. If the will was indeed signed and dated by witnesses, it will be very difficult to contest. Be prepared for a lengthy and costly process, as contesting a will can be complicated at best and it is usually not possible without retaining a qualified attorney. Which will would take legal precedence would depend upon the findings of the probate court.

Your question is unclear. We do not understand what you mean by "sensitivity." If you mean "are they naturally afraid of water," some people are. Since a person's oldest memories tend to be the last to go in cases of dementia, early adverse experiences with water could contribute to an aversion -- that, at least, is one theory. The person's physician should be able to tell you more about the specific case. If the person is simply avoiding baths, etc., it may be that he or she resents being told what to do. That is the proximate cause of many problems with dementia sufferers. They do not understand, and believe they are being forced to do things. You wouldn't like that, either. Careful explanation, a calm tone, and some patience can often work wonders.

It all depends on the severity of their condition. Some senile dementia patients have quite lucid times when they understand what they're doing. It is a matter of degree and medical opinion and whether the deed is vulnerable to challenge.

There is no such thing. Gingko Biloba is typically handed out for prevention or treatment of dementia.

Injury to the frontal lobe, usually confined to specific regions within the lobe itself (though these vary widely across patients/individuals) can cause frontal lobe dementia.

Being your question is listed under job's I assume you know someone who is having this problem. I cannot work anymore due to these symptoms, I do not have dementia, but I cannot do the job I once did which involved using at least 99% of my thinking, I thought I was getting AD and still am searching for answers if you are a female I will post a forum for you called Mind Bridges for women on Yuku forums

Standard blood tests are ordered and additional tests are typically required, including thyroid studies, vitamin B-12 levels, and, if appropriate, tests for Lyme disease , syphilis, or HIV since these infections can affect the brain

not washing hands or wearing protective clothing like gloves and aprons

Dementia arising from a dysfunction in an area of the brain beneath the Cerebral Cortex.

Characterised by symptoms such as:

Bradyphenia

Impairments of Executive Function

Visuospatial disturbances

Depression

Apathy

I am not a doctor but multi-infarct dementia would be when multiple spots of the brian have died causing the patient to fall into a series of dementia and other illnesses.

Dementia is a form of Alzheimer's and no, there is no cure, but medications can slow the process down. This only works if it's caught early enough.

My mother had Dementia for at least 20 years and I'm sad to say we all thought she was becoming a bitter old lady. We weren't aware of Dementia. Eventually she landed in the hospital where the doctor "pink slipped" her. This means because of her age, she also was diabetic and a danger to herself we were able to get her into a nursing home. Just before she entered the nursing home the hospital sent her to Valleyview Hospital (psychiatric hospital) to evaluate her and put her on a medication called Respiridol. In approx. 3 weeks my mother was almost her old self. We were happy to have her back! Of course because she was in her mid-80's we had no recourse but to leave her in the nursing home. My brother and I took turns visiting my mother and she was fortunate to have had us there 6 days out of 7. We were blessed to enjoy our mother once again and she was blessed to recognize us and enjoy our presents.

If you go on Google and write in "information on dementia", you will learn much. Understanding this terrible disease will help you and family cope better.

Dementia untreated makes the person become extremely paranoid, turn on family members, forget to pay bills, forget to take medications or even eat at times. The can lash out at the ones they love, accuse you of stealing and in their minds this is really happening.

This disease is so unfair and the person that has it is virtually a prisoner in their own bodies/minds. As frustrating as it can be, please have patience.

Answer also: Symptoms can possibly be treated by different medications and therapies, but there really is no cure. Dealing with individuals who have this life altering disease requires a lot of love and empathy on the part of others. If you see personality changes in the sufferer, just remember, it's not the real person you know and love, but the disease that has changed them. Be strong of heart, best to you.

Rosa Parks had dementia for a few years before she died and died with it

The term dementia refers to symptoms that include memory loss and the meaning of objects and words.

My mother suffered from (undiagnosed) Narcissistic Personality Disorder. During the last years of her life she showed signs of Dementia. My step-mother (my father knew how to pick his women!!) has been, for her entire life, a full blown narcissist with all the traits of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. She has recently (she is 78) been diagnosed with Vascular Dementia. I have no idea how to cope with it. It is soul destroying to have to deal with her.

You can´t if it was made before the illness was officialy determent by a doctor.
