Special Needs Planning

Many parents and families who have a loved one with special needs worry about how their loved one will be taken care – physically, emotionally, and financially.

At Greer Law, we understand these concerns and take the time to get to know you, your family, and your unique set of circumstances and long-term goals. “One-size-fits-all” does not apply when it comes to planning for a loved one with a disability, however, we have found that there is common ground in what families are looking for:

• Providing long-term financial support – for living expenses such as food and shelter, or for goods and services that are not covered by public benefits –medical, dental & special therapy expenses; service animals & assistive technology; telephone, cable, internet services; expenses for transportation, including a vehicle & related expenses; recreational activities and vacations.
• Preserving eligibility for programs such as Social Security, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Medicaid.
• The ability to manage financial resources, and to select future trustees.
• Protection against abuse or neglect.
• Protection against creditors and financial abuse.
• Assistance with identifying and advocating for services.

From ABLE Accounts to Special Needs Trusts, we can design a long-term plan to maximize your loved disabled one’s quality of life, provide for a lifetime of financial assistance and provide you with peace of mind for the future.
