PROTECTING YOUR LOVED ONE'S FUTURE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS PLANNING

Special needs planning is the process of creating a plan for a person with a disability, who may not be able to handle their own financial affairs. It is important for individuals with disabilities to have access to the resources they need to live full and independent lives. A special needs trust can be used to provide for a person's needs while preserving their eligibility for government benefits such as Medicaid and Supplemental Social Security Income. It is important to plan ahead to ensure that a person with a disability will be cared for in the future.
