For the Parents

Among the many challenges facing parents and family members of persons with disabilities is planning for the time when those family caregivers will no longer be around to act.  Effective planning by parents can make all the difference in the life of the disabled person, as well as in that of his or her siblings who may be left with the responsibility for caregiving (on top of their own careers and caring for their own families and, possibly, ailing parents).  One of the most important planning opportunities for the parent is the establishment of a special needs trust.
