Kimberly Brusatori, Director of Janus Communities, introduces Steve Radigan, a special needs planner with 43 years of experience. Steve explains the unique challenges of this type of planning due to the extended lifespans of individuals with disabilities and the ongoing financial obligations required. He outlines key components of planning including housing options, benefits preservation, funding projections, and assigning specific roles like trustee, care advocate, and benefit monitor.
The presentation also covers common mistakes families make when delaying planning, the importance of regularly updating legal documents, and the role of guardianship in special needs planning.
