Our Approach<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We are committed to making sure your child with special needs is cared for well once you are no longer able to be the primary caregiver.<\/p>

There is one reality no family in your situation can sidestep. You have to figure out how to set aside enough money for the enormous amount of care and support your child is likely to need across a lifetime, while at the same time keeping your child eligible for the government benefits that matter so much.<\/p>

You want your financial legacy to give your child a full, rich life, but you cannot afford to put their benefit eligibility at risk in the process. We help you find and name a guardian and trustee you trust to watch over your special needs child and their inheritance, someone who will raise them, teach them, and make decisions the way you would.<\/p>

Happily, the law lets assets be held in a \u201cspecial needs trust\u201d that provides extra resources for a child with physical, mental, or developmental disabilities, all without disturbing their access to public healthcare and income-assistance benefits. The catch is that the rules governing these trusts are genuinely intricate, and that is exactly where we step in.<\/p>

On top of that, a special needs child\u2019s requirements shift dramatically over the years, and so do the laws that shape the public benefits available to them. It really matters to work with an experienced special needs attorney who can craft a thorough special needs trust that is both properly built and well-suited to your child\u2019s particular circumstances.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
