Guardianships and Conservatorships

Many people assume that they have the right to make decisions for an incapacitated parent or a disabled adult child. However, if that person has not completed a power of attorney designating you as their agent, you may need to be appointed that person's guardian or conservator.

Guardianship gives you the legal authority to handle personal matters for another person. Conservatorship enables you to make financial decisions on their behalf.

Special Needs Trusts

A special needs trust is a way to provide money and assets for a person with a disability or serious health problem. By placing the money and assets into a qualified trust, you will not affect that person's eligibility for government benefits such as Medicaid or Social Security disability benefits.
