One of the unique benefits of having a legal practice that emphasizes elder law, estate planning and special needs, is that you can really see how much you help people. That is never more evident than in the case of Special Needs Planning.
Our dealings with families that have children or other loved ones with special needs, such as mental or physical disabilities, help those families know that, no matter what may happen in the future, your loved one will be cared for.
One such case is Nick. I have the great fortune of being able to work with him and his mother, Melinda Morrison.
Whether it is Nick or one of my other special needs clients, we structure the legal framework under which they can receive essential benefits from Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid programs.
While these benefits help, it takes more to provide for a quality of life for people with special needs. These are complicated procedures and government rules that enable parents to support their special needs family members.
Special Needs Trusts should be a significant component of your estate planning if you have a loved one who needs this support. We are ready to help with these complex issues.
