How to Involve Siblings in Future Planning for Your Adult with a Disability

Do you find yourself thinking more and more about what happens when you’re no longer able to care for your young adult/adult with a disability? Are you thinking that your other offspring will support them when you’re gone?

Please join Ellen Cookman of Cookman Law for a special discussion about our “super siblings” and their involvement in future planning for our loved ones with disabilities.

Topics covered include:
– Insights on navigating unique family dynamics while planning for the future
– How super siblings may be involved in future planning without being overwhelmed
– The what, when, and why of the special needs trust – and who should manage the trust
– What other financial planning tools are available to secure their sibling’s future
– How to support, empower, and protect these incredible family members
