Special Needs Planning
Innovative Strategies for Special Needs Planning
Providing for the needs of a disabled child or adult can be the source of great anxiety. It can cause significant financial and emotional stress. But, once people have made arrangements to care for their loved ones over the long term, they experience a feeling of relief.
At Julian Gray Associates, we help people plans for the care of children and adults with disabilities. Using a variety of tools, such as special needs trusts, Medicaid benefits, SSI benefits and other resources, we enable our clients to obtain peace of mind for themselves and long-term care services for their loved ones, which can enhance their quality of lives.
Julian E. Gray, CELA, a member of the Special Needs Alliance, a national, not for profit organization of attorneys dedicated to the practice of disability and public benefits law. Membership is extended to attorneys by invitation-only based upon factors including relevant legal experience, family experience with disability, active participation in disability advocacy organizations and professional reputation.
Investigating All Available Resources
At Julian Gray Associates, we strongly favor integrated solutions that draw upon more than one source of funding.
Such a solution can include special needs trusts, Medicaid benefits, Supplemental Security Income benefits (SSI), Social Security Disability benefits (SSDI) and Veterans Benefits. We will examine all possible sources of income and tap all available resources.
Our goal is to develop a solution that provides for the needs of the individual and that minimizes out-of-pocket costs and the dissipation of personal assets.
Julian Gray Associates places great emphasis on leveraging government benefits to provide a standard of living above that which could be provided by the benefits alone.
Usually, this involves the use of special needs trusts that can provide additional resources for the individual. We are an established elder law practice in Western Pennsylvania, with extensive experience in estate planning, special needs trusts, SSI and SSDI, and Medicaid planning. We can develop the legal and life plans needed to provide for the needs of your loved ones, now and into the future.
What Will Happen After You Are Gone?
You cannot rely on your family to care for your disabled child or adult relative after you are gone. At some point in their lives, they may be unable to do so or lack the necessary financial resources.
Julian Gray Associates can help you take care of the future needs of your loved one. His or her future care will be assured, providing you with peace of mind and the knowledge that you have done your best for the person you love.
