ABLE Accounts vs. Special Needs Trusts
August 20th, 2022
Free webinar with The Kennedy Collective's Autism Project for families with children or young adults with disabilities.
Date: September 20, 2022
Time: 6:00 PM
If you have a child or young adult with disabilities or know someone who does, we are hosting a free educational webinar on September 20 to help you safeguard their future and legally prepare for their transition into adulthood.
Parents, grandparents, and caregivers of children with disabilities are invited to attend a workshop where we will personally teach you how to navigate the complicated world of special needs and disability planning in order to make the best decisions and prepare for the future.
Planning is critical to ensure that parents can stay in control, and access key benefits/resources that will be necessary to ensure a smooth transition into adulthood and beyond. When you join us for the workshop you will learn:
- How to determine if your child needs a full or limited Conservatorship with the local courts, or possibly a less intrusive alternative, to enable you to retain the legal ability to make medical, financial and personal decisions when your child with disabilities becomes a legal adult.
- How to pass money to a child with a disability so they are not How to use ABLE Accounts if your child will be a semi-independent adult, so he or she can manage money and accumulate some savings without jeopardizing benefits eligibility.
- How to prepare the “next in line” caregivers to manage your child’s affairs if you ever become sick, disabled or pass away and can no longer provide care. We’ll show you legal tools to utilize (i.e. Living Trusts, Special Needs Trusts) so you can have the peace of mind knowing your child will always be cared for the way you want and that their future security is not jeopardized because of money mismanagement or misunderstanding of the role.
