SUMMARY:Special Needs Trusts - May 19\, 2023 (ZOOM meeting)
DESCRIPTION:Co-hosted by Jenn Crane\, trusts and estates attorney with Odin Feldman Pittleman\, and Tia Marsili\, Director of Trusts at The Arc of Northern Virginia \nFuture 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.

Jenn focuses her practice on special needs and elder law. She is a member of the National and Virginia Academies of Elder Law Attorneys.

SUMMARY:2023 State Convention - The Arc Maryland
DESCRIPTION:Members of The Arc of Northern Virginia’s Trust Team will be on hand to provide information and answer questions about Special Needs Trusts. They will give a presentation on Special Needs Trusts at 2:00pm. \nThis year’s Convention theme is BElong. What is the value of inclusion if it is not meaningful? It is not enough for a person to be in an environment that is physically inclusive but emotionally exclusive. True belonging is the ultimate outcome of meaningful inclusion. When people belong\, they can “BE” themselves without fear of judgment. They are welcomed by others. They are valued. They are meaningfully a part of something and when they are absent\, they are missed! \nThe Arc Maryland is pleased to announce our Keynote Speaker for the event is Russell Lehmann\, an internationally recognized motivational speaker\, poet\, author and advocate who happens to have autism. We hope you will join us at our annual event! \n  \n
