Supporting yourself or a loved one with a disability requires thoughtful and proactive planning, particularly when it comes to inheritance, financial resources, and access to essential programs such as SSI, SSDI, and Medicaid. During this informative session, we will share practical strategies to help families and individuals avoid common pitfalls and plan with intention.

Topics will include:

  1. How Special Needs Trusts and ABLE accounts can help protect assets while preserving benefits
  2. Estate planning strategies designed specifically with disability benefits in mind
