Special Needs Planning

​

You've dedicated your life to ensuring the well-being and happiness of your loved one with disabilities. Every decision, every sacrifice, has been made with their best interests at heart. As their primary caregiver and advocate, you've provided not only love and support but also the financial resources necessary to meet their unique needs.

​

The prospect of your loved one facing life without your guidance and support is daunting, to say the least. That's why it's crucial to establish a comprehensive long-term plan that ensures they continue to receive the care and support they require, even in your absence. One of the most effective tools for achieving this is a special needs trust.

 

Special needs trusts are specifically designed to provide ongoing financial support to individuals with disabilities while preserving their eligibility for government benefits such as Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). By placing assets into a special needs trust, you can ensure that your loved one's needs are met without jeopardizing their access to essential benefits and services.

​

Navigating the complexities of establishing a special needs trust can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face it alone. Our experienced team understands the challenges you're facing and is here to provide the guidance and support you need. We'll work closely with you to create a tailored trust that addresses your loved one's unique circumstances and ensures their continued care and financial security.

​

With a special needs trust in place, you can have peace of mind knowing that your loved one's future is secure, and that they will continue to receive the support they need to thrive, long after you're gone.
