WHERE DO I START?

Whether a disability occurs at birth or through catastrophic injury or illness, the resulting lifelong needs will require significant financial and service resources.

THE FIRST STEP, LIFE CARE PLANNING, helps you:

• Analyze lifelong needs
  
  
• Identify sources of desired assistance
  
  
• Calculate related expenses of goods and services
  
  
• Project total lifetime costs related to the disability
  
  
• Integrate Life Care Planning with other legal and trust decisions
  
  
• Educate your estate planner in the related financial challenge.

"The planning process forced us to face the many issues we had avoided for years. Just talking through each area of the Plan brought up so many important things to consider that we wouldn’t have thought about now. While we had made a guess at what our son’s care would cost, we really didn’t know how much his lifetime expenses would be until we did the plan. We’re all better prepared for our son’s future and our daughter is now willing to take over when we can’t do it down the road."
