Special Needs Planning encompasses the holistic estate planning needs of an individual with a disability. It includes both decision making for the individual with a disability either through the use of a Durable Power of Attorney and Health Care Proxy or through a guardianship. It also includes estate and benefit planning for the individual, often through the use of a Supplemental Needs Trust.
