August 18, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
Presented by Sarah C. Aviles, Attorney at Law, McCandlish Lillard
Future financial planning is such a crucial part of preparing for what lies ahead for individuals with disabilities after their parents and families can no longer watch out for them. A Special Needs Trust with The Arc of Northern Virginia and KeyBank can be the financial tool that provides a measure of security and independent living with supports for years to come. It is important to ensure that your child is financially secure when you are no longer around to provide help. In this presentation, learn about the roles of Special Needs Trusts in safeguarding government benefits while ensuring your (adult) child’s personal needs and aspirations continue to be met in the future.
