• Does your child have a physical disability or cognitive impairment which will require assistance either now or in the future?
• Does your child participate in an early intervention program or special education??
• Will your child be able to financially support himself/herself or make meaningful life decisions independently??
• Does your child receive SSI or Medicaid??
• Will your child be able to live independently or maintain employment when he/she reaches adulthood??

Families who have a child with a disability need to have a Special Needs Trust in place as well as specialized estate planning documents taking that trust into account to protect their loved one and plan for the future.
