Guardianship is used when a person cannot make important personal or financial decisions. Supported decision making offers a less restrictive option that maintains independence while providing support as needed.
Yes. Proper planning can protect eligibility for programs like SSI and Medicaid while coordinating how care is funded and delivered. We tailor strategies to your situation. In some cases, benefits rules require careful structuring to avoid jeopardizing eligibility.
Key documents include powers of attorney, guardianship documents if needed, special needs trusts when appropriate, and advance directives. We help organize these so they work together seamlessly.
