As the parent or grandparent of a child with special needs, unique planning must be done to set up your estate plan to preserve the public benefits of the child.
We can help you look at the unique needs for estate planning for a child with special needs, including:
- Powers of Attorney for a child 18 years or older
- Guardianship or Conservatorship
- Supplemental Needs Trust
- Special Needs Trust
- Pooled Trust (WisPACT or Life Navigators)
When you are receiving public benefits and you receive assets that would put you over the program limit, it is important to act quickly to plan for receipt of the asset while maintaining your benefits.
