Special Needs Planning

When families are faced with caring for loved ones with needs that carry into adulthood due to physical or mental challenges, Sirote's Special Needs Planning attorneys provide a holistic approach to protecting people with disabilities and their assets using state and federal trust laws. Special Needs trusts help to preserve these assets and to enhance the quality of life and care for individuals with special needs after they become eligible for government benefits such as Medicaid.

Sirote Special Needs attorneys use sophisticated estate planning techniques to effectively coordinate families' special needs. Such planning allows for the most efficient use of available resources and provides for the proper management of designated care. By protecting assets through 1^st Party or 3^rd Party trusts, Sirote attorneys develop carefully designed estate plans that include durable powers of attorney and medical powers of attorney or living wills. In addition to maximizing the available resources of persons with disabilities, these tools may also reduce or eliminate the need for a court-appointed guardian or conservator.
