Greetings!
The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, NAELA, of which Elder Law Associates PA is an active member, established October as National Special Needs Law Month as a grassroots effort to help people with disabilities and their families understand Special Needs Planning and the resources available to them.
At Elder Law Associates PA, Special Needs Planning is one of our core practice areas. Our attorneys can assist you with a variety of legal services to help you with planning for your loved one with special needs, including setting up special needs trusts and comprehensive estate planning. Our experienced attorneys can help you establish care plans that are organized so that funds set aside for your loved one with special needs will not be at risk from estate taxes or the long-term care costs of caregivers. We can also help you with:
- Answering questions about Social Security benefits for a person with special needs;
- Providing for a person with special needs in your will;
- Setting up Special Needs/Supplemental Needs Trusts for a person with special needs;
- Planning for long-term care, asset preservation and asset protection for a person with special needs;
- Setting up asset protection plans, family trusts and family care agreements;
- Setting up a durable power of attorney;
- Creating a health care surrogate/health care proxy and living will;
- Assisting with Medicaid applications and appeals for nursing home and assisted living facility care; and
- Applying for guardianship.
