Special needs planning focuses on protecting benefits while planning for ongoing care and independence. It often uses guardianship, powers of attorney, and trust instruments to manage assets and support decision making. It also helps families plan for transitions and safeguard long-term goals.
A special needs trust keeps assets from counting toward certain public benefits, helping preserve eligibility while funds support daily needs. Proper drafting ensures compliance with program rules. This planning helps families coordinate care across life stages.
Guardianship assigns a trusted person to make key decisions when a person cannot do so. Alternatives like powers of attorney or supported decision-making may be appropriate depending on the situation. We explore options to match the level of support you require.
