Federal and New York State laws provide that any child with a disability between the ages of 3 - 21 is entitled to receive a free and appropriate public education designed to meet his or her individual needs. If your child has a developmental, emotional, physical or learning disability, it is vital that you understand the special education system and what your child's rights are under the law.
As the parent of a daughter with a disability I know how difficult and overwhelming it is to think and plan for a future when I can no longer be there for her. Every family situation is different and each estate plan is unique.
I work closely with my clients to develop an estate plan that will ensure that their property is distributed in accordance with their wishes and that funds can be left to their child or loved one with a disability without jeopardizing government benefits.My goal is to give my clients peace of mind knowing that they have a plan in place that will provide for the future needs and security of their family.

Many individuals with disabilities receive means tested government benefits such as Medicaid or Social Security Income which impose strict limitations on a person's income and assets. A Supplemental (or Special) Needs Trust ( SNT) provides a source of funds that can be used to enhance the quality of life for a person with a disability without affecting their eligibility for government benefits.
Attorney Marna Solarsh understands first hand the mixed emotions and concerns parents have when their child with special needs turns 18 and is legally considered to be a competent adult. If you have a family member with disabilities who is approaching adulthood, you must carefully consider his or her level of functioning, and what types of supervision may be necessary for the future.
