If you are the parent or caregiver of a loved one with special needs, you may worry about how he or she will be taken care of when you are gone. As a special needs planning attorney, I can help you develop a plan to make sure your loved one enjoys a fulfilling life even when you are no longer there to care for them.

Special needs planning is critical because leaving money directly to a loved one with a disability may have the unintended consequence of disqualifying them from receiving benefits they would otherwise be entitled to receive under Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid.

Through special needs planning you can use tools, such as a supplemental needs trust, that will allow you to provide assets to enrich your loved ones life while preserving their eligibility for government benefits. I can help you gain peace of mind knowing you have a plan to care for your loved one in the future.
