Parents of special needs children face unique estate planning concerns—chiefly how to provide lifetime care and financial security after they’re gone.
Common risks:
- Inheriting a lump sum may disqualify the child from government aid (like JKM financial assistance).
- Guardianship disputes.
- Mismanagement of funds by well-meaning relatives.
Essential tools:
- Set up a special needs Trust (SNT) to manage and distribute assets accordingly.
- Appoint a legal guardian and Trustee to handle care and finances.
- Include clear instructions for daily routines, medical needs, and preferred caregivers.
This plan provides stability, dignity, and long-term care for your child—giving you peace of mind now and forever.
