Special Needs Planning

Families with children or other family members with special needs require additional estate planning to ensure that their loved ones are properly taken care of in the event their current caretakers are no longer around or able to do so. Our attorneys are well-versed in the area of special needs planning and can readily assist in this area. We regularly draft trusts for persons with special needs and/or disabilities (commonly referred to as special needs or supplemental needs trusts) to ensure that the trust assets remain available for the benefit of your loved ones while not jeopardizing their eligibility for government benefits. Each estate plan is catered to meet the needs of the special needs person and their parent or their primary caretaker. We also provide counsel and guidance for the management of funds for adult persons with disabilities, whether it derives from an inheritance or resulting from the settlement of a personal injury case.
