THE DALE LAW FIRM SERVICES
We believe that the best plan can be established with a Team approach.
We believe that the best plan can be established with a Team approach.
A thoughtful and well-drafted estate plan ensures that you will be protected and cared for throughout your lifetime, and that your estate will pass according to your wishes and in the manner you have chosen.
Special needs trust planning enables persons with disabilities to take advantage of all available resources, both public and private, to support and enhance their lives. A special needs trust can and should build the team of family, friends and professionals that will support the person with a disability in all aspects of life.
A person with a developmental disability may need assistance in making valid, informed decisions as an adult. Where other, less intrusive options are not available, appointment of a Limited Conservator as the legal decision-maker for a person with a significant developmental disability may be appropriate.
The Dale Law Firm, P.C., offers a full range of trust and estate planning services, with a focus on planning that involves a person with a disability. The Dale Law Firm approaches planning from the perspective of the whole family. Comprehensive estate planning for non-disabled family members will serve them in the later years and after death. Planning for a person with a disability promotes independence and maximum personal autonomy while simultaneously preserving eligibility for essential public benefits.
