post about Alzheimer’s Disease, Estate Plans, and the Denver Broncos

Florida guardianship attorneys know the importance of having a good estate plan in place. Having an estate planning lawyer draft healthcare documents and trusts can prove to be useful even before death. For example, having a proper estate plan and POA, prior to being diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, may help you to avoid a guardianship. However, despite proper planning, probate lawyers and trust attorneys know that beneficiaries or interested persons of an estate can disagree with people who are left in charge. This can lead to litigation. For example, a December 12, 2018 article in The New York Times reveals that a substantial battle has begun regarding the Denver Broncos. When Pat Bowlen was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, and no longer able to control the team, he turned over his control to three trustees. These trustees set benchmarks for Bowlen’s kids to meet before one could become the team’s controlling owner.

Now, Pat Bowlen’s daughter, Beth Bowlen Wallace is not at all happy with the trustees. She believes that she has met the criteria and should now become controlling owner. The trustees disagree.
