Special Needs Law
in North Carolina
We can be a trusted partner and advocate.
Special Needs individuals often need legal protections in place to provide for their long term needs. Good planning can ensure that assets are available for food, shelter, medical care, and education while still maintaining Medicaid benefits and other state and federal supports.
What are some of the tools that we offer?
A relationship with a trusted legal professional who will help you navigate and consider your options.
A stand-alone Special Needs Trust that can receive funds from an inheritance or settlement.
A Special Needs pooled trust at a nonprofit organization as a cost effective way to manage and distribute funds.
Guidance for establishing an NC ABLE Account, a tax-deferred savings account that can help with immediate needs, with contributions on an ongoing basis to provide additional support.
Looking to the future, estate planning can include a Supplemental Needs Trust built into a Last Will and Testament for a disabled beneficiary.
