When planning for the financial future of a loved one with a disability, there are many different aspects to consider, and will vary depending on their age. This workshop will discuss critical considerations for individuals of all ages who have a disability. We’ll review the importance of creating a life care plan, how it can help, and who should be involved. Learn crucial information and tools that may help in preparing for their financial future, such as government benefits, special needs trusts, ABLE accounts, and other legal and financial structures and considerations. Preparing for the financial future of a loved one with a disability can help ease the burden of the unexpected tomorrows.
