The distribution of a person's assets upon their death is known as probate. We assist clients in the probate of their loved one's estates, whether that person died with or without a will.
When a person is unable to care for him or herself, or to manage his or her financial affairs, a guardianship becomes necessary in order to give a family member or other appropriate individual the legal authority to manage the incapacitated person's property and personal care. We handle guardianship in all situations where the need to have rights and duties over another person becomes appropriate, including when disabled minors reach the age of majority and when adults become incapacitated due to injury or disease.
Leaving money or property directly to a special needs or disabled child could disqualify him or her from receiving Supplemental Social Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid Benefits. Creating a Supplemental or Special Needs Trust allows you to provide for your disabled loved one beyond his or her basic needs while maintaining government benefits.
