Special Needs Planning


IN-PERSON SESSION

(at our Alachua, FL office)

VIRTUAL SESSION

(Via Zoom)

Planning for a loved one with special needs is a deeply personal journey—from childhood through adulthood and every life transition. As needs change and benefits rules evolve, the goal is to provide meaningful supplemental support without risking eligibility for essential programs like Medicaid and SSI.

Direct inheritances can jeopardize those benefits, but a well-structured special needs trust allows resources for extras like therapies, adaptive equipment, recreation, and quality-of-life needs—distributed carefully to third parties.The real strength comes from long-term partnership. A dedicated special needs attorney should be a core member of your family’s team, guiding you through milestones like turning 18, guardianship decisions, agency coordination, and plan updates as laws or circumstances shift.

For aging parents and caregivers, it’s especially valuable for the attorney to truly know your child—their preferences, strengths, and joys—so we can serve as informed, ongoing advocates when you’re no longer able to lead.

Special needs planning is more than documents; it’s about peace of mind, dignity, and a supported future. We’re here to partner with you every step, creating a plan as unique as your loved one. 

*** If you you want others to attend this meeting but need to attend virtually, please be sure to contact the office after you have confirmed your appointment and let us know.
