Effective planning for your son or daughter with a disability involves special legal considerations not found in routine estate planning. In selecting an attorney, you should seek one who is both capable and familiar with the laws involving trusts, guardianship and disability. This attorney should also have knowledge of the programs and benefits available to persons with disabilities. An attorney who is not familiar with these special legal considerations could inadvertently risk your family member's government benefits. In addition, an attorney who has experience in this specialized area should be more efficient and, therefore, less expensive. Following is a list of attorneys in this area who have experience in handling the special needs of persons with disabilities.
