What is Special Needs Planning?

Special needs planning is the process of creating a comprehensive plan to provide for a child with special needs, both now and in the future. This type of planning considers all the unusual challenges that parents of children with special needs face, including financial challenges, estate planning, guardianship, and more.

At the Packard Law Firm, we believe that every family is individual and deserves a customized plan that meets their specific needs. We will work with you to understand your situation and create a plan that gives you peace of mind knowing your child will be taken care of no matter what happens.

Why are Special Needs Planning Important?

Special needs planning is important for individuals with disabilities because it helps to ensure that they will have the necessary support and resources in place to maintain their quality of life, even if their primary caregiver is no longer able to provide care.

Special needs planning can also help to protect assets so that they can be used to support individuals with special needs. Special needs planning can include various legal tools, such as trusts, wills, powers of attorney, and advance directives.

Caring for a loved one with special needs can be costly, and it is important to make sure that there are adequate resources in place to cover these costs. Special needs planning can help to ensure that individuals with disabilities have the financial resources they need to maintain their quality of life. Government programs are something to be sought after in these plans.

What is Involved in the Special Needs Planning Process?

Being prepared for the future can seem overwhelming, but our experienced attorneys will work with you every step of the way to make sure your child’s interests are protected. The special needs planning process usually involves the following steps:

  • Assessing your child’s current and future needs
  • Developing a comprehensive financial plan
  • Creating or updating your estate plan
  • Applying for government benefits like Social Security or Medicaid
  • Establishing a guardianship or conservatorship
  • Creating a special needs trust

The Packard Law Firm can help you with all of these steps and more. We understand the unique challenges you face and will work with you to create a plan that best helps your family.

Is It Worth Hiring a Special Needs Planning Lawyer?

Because each family is special, there can’t be a single solution that works for every family’s future. Ultimately, the best person to make the call about whether or not to hire a special needs planning lawyer is you.

That being said, there are some circumstances in which hiring a lawyer may be particularly helpful. If you have a family member with special needs, you may want to consider hiring a lawyer to help create a special needs trust.

A special needs trust is a type of trust that can be used to provide financial support for someone with special needs without jeopardizing their eligibility for government benefits like Medicaid and Social Security. Creating a special needs trust requires careful planning and a thorough understanding of the law, both of which a lawyer at the Packard Law Firm can provide. Call us at (210) 340-8877 to get started.
