What Happens When My Disabled Child Turns 18? Special Needs Planning and Conservatorships
Once your child turns 18, they become an “adult”, and they can qualify for certain needs-based
public benefits and make their own decisions. Understanding Special Needs Trusts,
Conservatorships, and Supported Decision-Making for your children becomes very important at that
point.
Please join attorney Ellen Cookman for a lively and informative presentation on these
planning tools and how your family can use them, including a deeper dive into the
following issues:
Should I have a stand-alone or testamentary special needs trust?
What is the difference between a first-party and third-party special needs trust?
When and how should I transfer assets into (i.e. “fund”) the trust?
How does a conservatorship work?
When might I choose to use alternatives to conservatorships – i.e. Supported Decision-Making,
Durable Powers of Attorney, Advance Health Care Directives?
