Taking special care planning ahead for the unique needs of your family…

There are a host of legal considerations to take into account when there are special needs present in your family to ensure your loved ones needs are provided for as you both age. From establishing guardianships and adoptions to estate plans with the trusts and provisions needed to provide care for your loved one after your passing, Erin takes the time to explore what specific arrangements can be made for your family’s unique situation.

SPECIAL NEEDS ESTATE PLANNING

We often try hard to keep the final chapter out of mind, but preparing for the end can never begin too soon, especially for families with unique and special needs. From getting your first estate plan in place for your growing family to updating a previous will as you grow your assets or adjust to a new diagnosis in your family, Erin takes the time to carefully prepare the necessary documents for your individual needs, ensuring you’re prepared to leave the legacy you desire and ensure your loved ones are protected and cared for following your passing. From wills and trusts to powers of attorney and healthcare powers of attorney, letting those around you know your wishes gives confidence and reduces confusion, conflict, and miscommunication in the future.

Your loved ones deserve the best care possible, and Erin understands that providing continuing care for your special needs child or an aging family member is a step that weighs heavily on many families.
