Special Needs Planning Strategy (all ages)
Our educational workshop will focus on supporting families through a process that helps them to build their own special needs master plan. As such, we will address understanding the cost of care, ABLE accounts, special needs trusts, microboards, advocacy, medicaid waivers, and social security. “
At all needs planning, we use our Care, Protect, and Grow plan to address disability life planning. The Care component consists of addressing your immediate need to develop a financial plan that supports every member’s lifetime as well as the advocacy and guidance to obtain and use the supports and services your loved one with disabilities needs. The Protect component consists of establishing legal entities to support decision making while protecting assets, with special emphasis on micro-board support. The Grow component consists of investment strategies that meet the needs of two lifetimes by providing support in retirement as well as funding for the disabled member’s future. Our work with families pulls all of these resources together customized to their needs and goals for the future.
