Creating a Special Needs Legal and Financial Plan

Although the J and The Washington Group Special Care Planning Team are unable to host in-person workshops at this time we are excited to present this no cost webinar open to all in the community...

Creating a Special Needs Legal & Financial Plan
No Cost Zoom Webinar
Wednesday, June 17, 2pm-3:15pm

This webinar will explore benefit programs available to families with special needs members. A quality of life is very much integrated with the financial instruments and assets that we have. An understanding of the best way to structure your special needs family financially will help to meet considerations and concerns for the future. This webinar will focus on the employer benefit structure with the integration of government entitlement benefits as well as planning that has already taken place. We will also include an in-depth discussion of social security disability benefits (SSDI) with a broader discussion of all public entitlement and public assistance benefits. There will also be an overview of important legal and special needs legal instruments to consider (Wills, POAs, Special Needs Trusts, Guardianship and Alternatives, etc.).

Understanding the various public assistance and entitlement benefits as well as legal considerations will help to ensure the best quality of life and resources for your loved one with special needs.
