Beneficiaries with Special Needs
Planning for family members or other loved ones with serious disabilities can be complex. Protecting government benefits and assembling an effective care-giving and support system can be challenging, to say the very least.
Likewise, beneficiaries who have issues with handling money sometimes require special provisions in your estate plan.
Assembling all the pieces your situation requires can be daunting. Since we have been touched personally by family and friends with disabilities, we are happy to help you. If we cannot provide you with what you need, at a minimum we can direct you to other resources.
Trust Amendment
Life changes and so should your estate plan. Sometimes a simple amendment can achieve your goals without the need to re-do your entire trust or will.
Changing trustees, executors, or beneficiaries are typical examples of situations where an amendment (or codicil in the case of a will) might be sufficient.
