Special Needs Trust
lf you have family members with special needs who will require lifetime care for their disabilities, Mr. Cummings has the knowledge and experience to create a Special Needs Trust. A Special Needs Trust protects assets set aside for them for their lifetime, while preserving their ability to apply for and receive government assistance. As we age, it is important to make plans for the possibility that we are not able to make decisions on our behalf. By executing a Healthcare Directive and Power of Attorney while we are physically and mentally able, we make decisions, appoint agents, and leave instructions so that our loved ones are not left guessing as to what we would want done concerning our business and financial matters and healthcare decisions, including end of life care and funeral and other arrangements.
Also, if you are caring for aging parents, relatives or other loved ones, it’s important to obtain good information so that we care for them in the best way possible and preserve the assets they spent a lifetime of hard work accumulating.
A Guardianship is a court-ordered authority to care for an individual who is either under the age of 18 or disabled in some way.
A conservatorship is a court-ordered authority to care for an individuals financial needs. Once the court orders a guardianship or conservatorship, in most cases the guardian or conservator is required to file reports with the court on the status of the disabled person and their assets. We are available to consult with you to make sure that following the appointment of a guardian or conservator, that all requirements of the Court are followed.
