I was pleased to join Julie Ames on The Special Needs Family Hour for an important two-part conversation about planning for individuals with autism, neurodiversity, and developmental disabilities.

This conversation was particularly meaningful to me because I have had the privilege of working directly with Julie and her daughters on many of these issues, including their estate planning. Having that personal history made our discussion about the challenges families face, and the planning that can help protect their loved ones, especially meaningful.

We covered several important topics, including:
• Guardianship and long-term care planning
• Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
• Special Needs Trusts
• ABLE accounts
• Protecting government benefits
• Planning for future care and financial security

Special needs planning involves many moving pieces, and understanding how these tools work together can make an enormous difference for individuals and their families.

Thank you, Julie, for having me and for sharing your family's experiences so openly.

AI is becoming a great tool for learning. In fact, many of our clients come to our office with AI-generated questions, and we encourage them to ask those questions. The problem is that AI answers the question you ask. It does not always understand the facts of your situation.

Recently, a client came in after researching financial exploitation of an elderly family member. Everything AI provided about Florida law was accurate. The problem? The family member had already passed away, making much of the information completely inapplicable to their case.

In another meeting, a family learned from AI that an irrevocable trust can protect assets. That is true in many situations. However, because their mother needed Medicaid immediately, transferring assets into an irrevocable trust would have created five years of Medicaid ineligibility.

The information wasn't wrong. It simply wasn't the right answer for their circumstances. Every family is different. Every legal situation is different.

Before making decisions that could affect your family, your finances, or your future, bring your questions to an experienced Florida elder law attorney. We'll help you understand how the law applies to you.

Contact our team today at 813-661-5297 to schedule a consult.
