We understand that these discussions can be difficult, and we’re here to make the process as smooth and reassuring as possible.
SPECIAL NEEDS PLANNING

We work closely with parents and caregivers to create tailored estate plans that provide for long-term care and financial support—without compromising eligibility for government assistance programs like Medicaid or SSI.
