One With Special Needs
Our team of special needs planning attorneys and social workers have the expertise and the sensitivity that is essential to helping families understand and plan for the future.
Our Special Needs Planning Services
Planning for family members with special needs is more than just setting up a trust. While special needs trusts are important, the real work is in understanding public benefits; housing options; and surrogate decision-making, including guardianships and the alternatives to guardianships.
A “special needs trust” often provides the framework for a plan, but understanding how that document will function, and who will make decisions, and how those decisions will impact the quality of life of the person with special needs, are the real keys to a successful plan.
