Special Needs Planning

What is special needs planning?

Special needs planning is the planning for the future of a family member or loved one that has special needs. Most parents of children with special needs need to have some type of special needs planning in place to make sure that their child’s welfare and health issues are met when the parents pass away. Special needs planning gives you the control to decide on what kind of quality of life you will want your family member to receive. Special needs planning helps you to establish realistic goals that are based on their own special circumstances. Special needs planning begins with a complete review of your current financial and legal state, future care plans, and a complete review of your loved ones needs.

What are the benefits to special needs planning?

One benefit for special needs planning is that this type of planning can still keep your special needs family member eligible for any government programs that they may be currently on or could obtain in the future. Special needs planning helps to provide for the services and care above what the government could provide.
