Why work with a special needs advisor?

Planning for a person with a disability touches several areas. An advisor can help you coordinate:

  • Estate planning with an attorney
  • Special needs trusts
  • Life insurance
  • Tax questions, with a tax professional
  • Healthcare issues
  • Benefit rules such as Medicaid and SSI

Government benefit programs often have asset limits. Money left directly to a person with a disability can affect eligibility, which is why a trust is often used. An attorney can advise.

Get matched with an advisor in four easy steps.

  1. Choose your goal
  2. Tell us about you
  3. Share your name
  4. Tell us how to reach you
