Special Needs Planning

At The DiGiorgio Law Firm, PLLC, we are committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals with disabilities. Special Needs Planning is a comprehensive approach that addresses both current and future needs — including legal decision-making, financial security, and access to essential benefits.

We assist with decision-making tools such as Durable Powers of Attorney, Health Care Proxies, and Guardianships. We also develop estate and benefit plans through Supplemental Needs Trusts (Special Needs Trusts or “SNTs”), carefully structured in compliance with state and federal law to preserve eligibility for vital benefits like Medicaid and SSI.

Our team can also guide you through the Medicaid application process and advocate on your behalf with government agencies.

Planning for the care and well-being of a loved one with a disability requires in-depth knowledge of estate planning, guardianship law, and public benefits. Whether you are an individual with a disability or a loved one seeking support, we are here to help you create a personalized plan for long-term care and financial security.
