Special Needs Planning

We will work with you through the maze of legal and financial complexities surrounding planning for the future of dependents with special needs.

Special needs planning is a critically important form of estate planning that helps to ensure the safety and well-being of loved ones with disabilities. It is designed to provide families and rightsholders access to resources, financial security, medical care, and other essential services.

With special needs planning, parents can create plans to protect their children if they become incapacitated or pass away. The process involves the creation of legal documents, such as trusts, wills, and guardianship agreements.

Why Special Needs Planning?

Ensure Your Child Is in Safe Hands

Not everyone can provide the same level of care and support to a special needs child. Therefore, special needs planning allows you to designate guardians and trustees to manage your child’s finances, health care decisions, and other life matters. This guarantees that your child’s best interests are taken care of.

Legal Protection

Whether it’s lawsuits or debt collection, you want to ensure your child is legally protected. With special needs planning, you can create legal documents that prevent creditors from accessing funds intended for the care and support of your child.

Safeguard Your Child's Financial Interests

There are several government benefits available to special needs children, such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid. However, accessing these benefits can be challenging, especially if you do not have the necessary legal documents. That’s why you need a professional to help you through the process.
