Financials

With our global economy crumbling more each day, it's more important than ever to have family financial plans in good order.  This is particularly true for a family with special needs.  Thankfully, we got our ducks in a row years ago and established a Supplemental Needs Trust for our son, Andrew.  We did other financial planning for our "typical" children; however, planning for Andrew's disability required special legal advice, documents and investment in order to preserve his options as an adult and ensure he is protected long-term.  

We found expertise at the law firm of Day Pitney LLC and attorney Dane Dudley (bddudley@daypitney.com).  They have offices in CT, MA, NY, NJ and Washington, DC.  Dane explained all sorts of scenarios and helped us prepare for each of them.  While we hope we never have to call upon these crisis plans, we feel confident that our family will be provided for no matter what happens and that Andrew especially will have what he needs to enjoy a long and happy life.  

If only fixing the global economy were so easy.
