Special Needs Planning Attorneys Serving the Boston, Massachusetts Area
Family members of disabled individuals have legitimate concerns about the long-term financial stability of their loved ones. Through a special needs trust, people can leave money and other assets to their disabled dependants without jeopardizing the government benefits to which those disabled individuals are entitled.
At Seegel Lipshutz & Wilchins, we have been helping families in Massachusetts with special needs planning issues since 1984. We can help you ensure that your loved ones are cared for and financially protected when you are longer there.

Special Needs Trusts
At Seegel Lipshutz & Wilchins, we help people throughout the Boston, Massachusetts, area with a wide range of estate planning issues, including special needs planning.
Without proper special needs planning, an inheritance or gift could render your disabled loved one ineligible for government benefits. Our attorneys, through careful analysis and planning, can help you avoid such an outcome by helping you establish a special needs trust or other asset protection plan.
We can also help you determine how to access state and federal funds that may be available to your disabled family member.
Special Needs Guardianships
If you are the parent of a special needs child, you will face a number of legal complications once that child turns 18. You have always provided for your child and made the best possible decisions for him or her. But when your child turns 18 you will have to take special legal steps to retain the legal right to make those decisions. Our lawyers are well-versed in the legal details of special needs guardianships and can guide you through the process to make a smooth transition as your child enters adulthood.
