Options for Special Needs Planning
Disabled persons need and deserve legal protection as well as the assurance of a dignified quality of life. Accomplishing this requires a coordinated effort that can include the following:
- Providing information about private and government-funded programs and professionals available to your loved one
- Developing a complete care plan, consulting with medical and social services experts as needed
- Establishing trusts, such as special needs trusts and supplemental needs trusts that can benefit your loved one after your death
- Helping with applications for SSI and Medicaid benefits
- Ensuring that your loved one with special needs is included in your will
- Assisting with applications for guardianship when appropriate
The goal of special needs planning is to provide a comfortable life for your disabled loved one during your lifetime and to ensure that the same level of care continues after your death.
