It is important for everyone to be prepared for what tomorrow brings, but this is especially true for individuals with special needs and their families, since these individuals may not have the ability to prepare on their own. In this episode, available exclusively on our podcast channel, Attorney Landon Hodges and Long-Term Care Planner Kristin Daugherty talk about what families with individuals with special needs should be aware of from a legal standpoint when planning for the future, and what they can do to ensure their family member with special needs is taken care of in the future and maximizes their benefits and assets. Topics discussed include differences between a power of attorney and a guardianship, a summary of wishes document, legal ramifications of an individual with special needs receiving an inheritance, and more.
