🌐 www.aharrisonlaw.com Alan has been in private practice since 2007, and is an expert in helping parents with special needs children prepare for their loved one’s safety and security throughout adulthood. He works extensively in Eastern Idaho and is known for his caring and compassionate nature as he helps families determine the best legal options to support their loved ones with developmental disabilities and mental health challenges. While Alan specializes in guardianship and conservatorship for adults with developmental disabilities, he firmly believes that everyone deserves to be safe, protected, loved, happy, and to the greatest extent possible, self-reliant. For many adults with developmental disabilities, this can be accomplished without guardianship, and Alan helps families determine the level of support their loved one needs to be successful. Alan also specializes in Supplemental Needs Trusts, also called 3rd Party Trusts, that allow assets to be left to a person who needs government benefits such as Social Security Disability and Medicaid. Alan developed the Collaborative Legal Planning Process™ as a way to help families with loved ones who have special needs. Over time, this process expanded to all areas of the firm’s practice. Alan is active in numerous community organizations and shares this method of coordination between families and professionals in the hope that families will feel empowered by their collaborations with the professionals in their lives. Alan loves and is passionate about his family and is grateful for the lessons he has learned as a husband and father to 10 wonderful children.

Seventeen years. One goal. Countless reasons to quit.

For nearly two decades, Alan had "complete an Ironman" on his bucket list. Along the way, he tackled a half Ironman, attempted a full Ironman, faced setbacks, battled self-doubt, and wondered if he could really do it.

Then he did something that changed everything: he made a plan.

With the right preparation, commitment, and a lot of hard work, he crossed the finish line. Funny enough, the same principle applies to so many important things in life. Big goals can feel overwhelming until you have a plan in place.

Whether you're training for an Ironman or getting your estate plan organized, confidence comes from knowing you've prepared for what lies ahead.

What's one goal you've been putting off that deserves a plan?

Financial Authority Under Conservatorship Explained

A conservator manages financial responsibilities by overseeing accounts, tracking assets, handling expenses, and communicating with employers when needed. These financial powers are different from a guardian's responsibilities. Even without a conservatorship, a guardian can still help someone apply for Social Security benefits, disability related services, and other available public assistance programs.

Guardians are not automatically responsible for every action taken by the person under their care. Liability often depends on whether the guardian took reasonable steps to prevent a known risk.

Pickles Hits the Disc Golf Scene!

This past weekend, Zoe took Pickles to his very first disc golf tournament at the Tautphaus Park Open, and we'd say it's safe to call it a success!

Not only did Pickles get to take in all the action, but our firm was also excited to be a hole sponsor for the event. We love finding opportunities to support local events that bring our community together.

A special shoutout to Zoe, who absolutely rocked the tournament. She represented our office, cheered on the players, and made sure Pickles had a memorable first disc golf experience.

Now we need to know... should Pickles add "professional disc golfer" to his résumé? His tiny arms don't allow for much throwing but he tries his best.

Guardianship Papers Secure Emergency Room Access

In an emergency room visit after a crash outside Idaho Falls, hospital staff refused a mother access to her daughter with special needs because she appeared capable of answering questions. She presented guardianship documents and explained her authority. Once reviewed, she was allowed back to advocate and guide medical decisions her daughter could not fully understand or communicate.

Why a Child's Wishes Matter in Guardianship

The initial guardianship report gives the court an opportunity to learn about the individual's personal wishes. It may include preferences about where they want to live, the services they would like to receive, and the people they want to spend time with. Guardians are encouraged to support as much independence as possible by allowing decisions the individual is capable of making.
