Legal Planning for Special Needs Children

How to Put a Fortress of Protection Around Your Child Through All Life's Transitions

If you are raising a child with a physical or developmental disability, we understand the obstacles and difficulties you face on a daily basis.

Between running to and from specialist appointments, IEP meetings, occupational and speech therapy, and caring for your child’s basic needs, there is little time to take care of the tasks of today, let alone plan for tomorrow.  

But, as you already know, there are also legal and financial concerns that must be considered for the future, such as:

  • Who would raise your child if something unexpectedly happened to you and/or your spouse?
  • How can you ensure enough money is left behind should your child require a lifetime of care?
  • What happens when your child turns 18? How can you continue to make medical and financial decisions on his or her behalf?
  • How can you ensure your child is not taken advantage of financially or emotionally if you are no longer there to protect him or her?

While each legal situation is as unique as your child, this guide will be a basic overview for busy parents who simply need a roadmap toward a worry-free future.

CLIENT Story

I was absolutely without a clue as to how to begin or what I should do to establish an estate plan. I did know that I wanted someone I could trust, that was honest and I would have confidence in. I was referred to Heather by my friend who was being legally advised by Heather on another estate. She was very satisfied with her work and thought I might be happy with her service. At our consultation appointment, her presentation was very thorough. I had lots of questions, and she was easy to talk to and was able to guide me to just the kind of estate plan I needed. That was 10 years ago. Due to circumstances in my life, I have had to make changes to my plan, and I always go back to her for her legal services and guidance. I have recommended Heather before.
