Does your child have a disability such as one of the following?
- Down's Syndrome
- Cerebral Palsy
- Autism
- Schizophrenia
- Paralysis
- Birth injury
What will happen to your disabled child when you are no longer able to care for him or her? How can your resources — including expected life insurance proceeds after your death — be dedicated to your child's welfare?
There are many reasons for which a child may be dependent after age 18. A special needs trust can express your wishes and concerns with regard to long term care planning and allocation of resources for the care of your disabled or dependent minor or adult child.
You have perhaps discussed with your family your thoughts about how the child would be cared for should something happen to you — but you realize the need to formalize a statement of your intentions. Raleigh special needs trust lawyers of Crawford & Crawford, LLP, Attorneys at Law, are ready to help you obtain peace of mind as you make legal provisions for your child through a special needs trust.
Prepare for a dedicated use of assets for the sake of your disabled adult child by preparing a special needs trust. Besides transferring money and/or property to a designated beneficiary, a trust can clarify particular wishes such as where your disabled child should live, or who should serve as his or her guardian and/or trustee.
Contemplating your own future inability to care for your disabled son or daughter is likely to stir up some strong emotions. Our Raleigh special needs trust lawyers are committed to sensitive, compassionate interactions with our clients. We are also committed to clearly articulating relevant laws to ensure that our clients understand their special needs trusts.
