Webinar, October 7, 2026, with the Charles River Center in Needham, MA. Part of the Charles River Center’s Family Training Series. Presented by Annette M. Hines, Esq., Special Needs Law Group. Estate planning is really a navigation system we use to set and accomplish goals for the future. When you are protecting someone with a disability, you want to ensure that the right people are in charge of your family at the right time, no matter who gets sick, who becomes incapacitated, or who passes away. We do all this with proper legal planning documents in place and an understanding of who the people in your Circle of Care are that you can count on to be there when you cannot.
Participants will learn:
- Why we plan and what happens if we don’t
- The purpose and benefits of Special Needs Trusts
- Common Special Needs Trust terms and definitions
- How Special Needs Trusts work with public benefit programs such as SSI and Medicaid/MassHealth
- Key considerations for incorporating Special Needs Trusts into a person-centered future plan
Registration is required.
