The cost of raising a child to the age of 18, now costs about $300,000.00, and that doesn’t even include college! For a child with special needs, that cost can more than triple. Without proper preparation, your child’s lifetime needs can quickly outstrip your funds.
Sean recommends to Erin, that you:
1. Prepare Your Estate
2. Coordinate with Government Benefits
3. Identify a Caregiver
4. Involve the Family, Seek Professional Guidance
You may also consider a special needs trust. Proactive planning means you, your child, and your family will be okay in case the worst happens. And keep in mind, estate planning for a child with disabilities is not a one-time event but an ongoing process.
