Special Needs Planning
Caring for a child with special needs is both challenging and rewarding. Unfortunately, many parents also find that the extra care required by children with mental, physical and/or emotional challenges leaves little time to think about planning for the future. But this type of planning, known as special needs estate planning or special needs planning, is critical to securing your child’s future quality of life. Though special needs planning can seem like a daunting task, our clients have found that developing a comprehensive plan to provide for their children’s future brings great peace of mind. At Frankel & Kershenbaum, our experienced lawyers possess the special needs estate planning expertise to help you ensure that your child is cared for even after you become unable to provide this care yourself.
Special needs planning encompasses many areas of the law, such as trusts and estates, public benefits law, and health care law. With a depth of knowledge in these areas, attorneys Dave Frankel and Josh Kershenbaum help clients throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey develop special needs trusts, wills, letters of intent, powers of attorney, health care directives and other means of ensuring that disabled individuals will enjoy a lifetime of care, assistance and financial security. Our attorneys also help parents determine, maximize and preserve their child’s eligibility for government benefits such as Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Special needs estate planning requires a careful balancing of resources and each child and family’s unique needs. Thus, it is wise to consult with an attorney who focuses on this special practice area.
