FOR A CHILD WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
...and Introducing the ABLE ACT

Planning for an adult family member with special needs requires in-depth knowledge of ever changing local resources, laws, legal and financial tools available as you assist your family member in creating a current and future working plan to meet their lifelong dreams and needs.  As parents, you have always taken good care of your child.  How well are your successors equipped to help your child with Special Needs? Speakers, Minoti Rajput, CFP® and Mehul Mistry, CFP® of Secure Planning Strategies will explain the importance of special needs planning strategies and will address questions for both planning and key components of what is entailed in creating a Letter of Intent.

¨     What will happen to my loved one when I am no longer here?
¨     What is a Special Needs Trust and what type should I create?
¨     How does the ABLE Act work?
¨     Why Wills and Trusts alone may not work.
¨     What are the government benefits and can and will they be enough?
¨     What are my child’s future housing options?
¨     How well do your child’s future caregivers know your Estate Plans?
¨     Have you provided instructions for your child’s future advocate?
¨     Is your child’s vital medical information, key resource providers, likes & dislikes, routines and interests and other critical information compiled in one location for future caregivers?
