Guardianship and Alternatives with a Special Needs Attorney

Speakers: Consolidated Planning Group - Allison Schaberg and Heidi Angel

Topic Summary: Once a child with special needs becomes a legal adult, how does a parent continue to protect and make decisions for that child? Allison Schaberg and a special needs attorney will discuss the guardianship option as well as alternatives to the guardianship, such as powers of attorney, supported decision-making agreements, special needs trusts, and representative payees. She will suggest factors to consider in determining the best course of action for a disabled adult child. Alison will also provide an overview of the guardianship process in Texas, including the timeline, court procedures, options for limited guardianships, requirements for maintaining the guardianship, and tips for a smooth proceeding.
