What happens legally when your child with special needs turns 18?
Turning 18 is an important legal milestone.
For families caring for a child with developmental or special needs, adulthood can also bring questions about who can make certain medical, financial and personal decisions when the individual cannot make those decisions independently.
Depending on the circumstances, guardianship or another legal arrangement may need to be considered.
The best time to understand your options is before you’re faced with an urgent decision.
Yates Legal Group is currently accepting new clients.
