If you are the parent of a child with special needs, you know the love, dedication, and planning that goes into their daily care. But you may also wonder: What will happen when I’m no longer here to provide that care?
Special needs planning is about giving your child the security, resources, and guidance they will need for a lifetime—without jeopardizing their eligibility for important government benefits.
We help parents create thoughtful, legally sound plans that ensure their children are cared for, financially supported, and surrounded by trusted people when they need it most.
A traditional estate plan often isn’t enough for families with special needs children. Leaving money directly to your child through a will or trust may disqualify them from receiving government benefits like SSI or Medi-Cal.
Without proper planning, well-meaning gifts or inheritances could unintentionally put their future at risk.
Special needs planning makes sure your child has access to the care, services, and financial support they deserve—without losing access to critical programs.
By establishing a special needs trust, you can provide lifelong support for your child while safeguarding their independence and dignity. The cornerstone of special needs planning is a Special Needs Trust (sometimes called a Supplemental Needs Trust).
