Protect Your Child’s Financial Future
Properly managing financial assets is an important task for everyone, but perhaps especially so regarding those in the name of an individual with an intellectual or developmental disability. When you meet with Verena, she works with you to better understand your situation, your wishes, and the needs of your child in order to help you navigate the planning process. You will have access to the legal tools necessary to best protect your child’s assets and inheritance.
Third-party special needs trusts, also referred to as third-party supplemental needs trusts, are just one example of a tool commonly used to safeguard the inheritance of your child with a disability. Similarly, if your child or relative who has a disability has assets of his or her own, a first-party special needs trust will protect those assets while still permitting them to receive public benefits. Special needs trusts really are the guiding force for many aspects that shape the future of an individual who is disabled. We help you choose the special needs trust ideal for your specific situation. Each trust we draft is flexible and able to be modified to accommodate changes that may arise in the future.
