Parents, siblings, caregivers and professionals recently gathered at UC UCEDD’s Transition Booster Session to learn about Estate Planning and Special Needs Trusts. The June 18 session was led by Janet Pecquet, Attorney at Law, Beckman Weil Shepardson LLC, and featured a panel of family members to help answer questions.
The in-depth, interactive session explained different ways to save money for the future expenses of a child with disabilities. It also explained different types of special needs trusts, and Health Care Directives and Wills. To watch a replay of the session, click here.
