Special Needs Planning
Special Needs Planning protects benefits, preserves assets, and ensures dignity, security, and lasting care for vulnerable loved ones.
Special Needs Planning (or Supplemental Needs Planning) works hand in hand with Incapacity Planning with a primary focus on someone other than you. Special Needs Planning helps families with vulnerable adults or children ensure those children will be provided for in a manner that is above “mere subsistence,” and allow dignity and enjoyment for those special family members. Special Needs Planning also ensures that our family members will not be denied needed or wanted government benefits merely because they inherited a modest (or significant) amount from other family members such as parents or grandparents. Well tailored Special Needs Planning provides peace of mind for you and a continuing source of funds for the enjoyment of your special family member.

Understanding Living Wills and Medical Power of Attorney
Do you need both?
Talking about future medical care can be tough. However, it’s crucial to ensure your wishes are followed if you can’t speak for yourself.
At Coastal Legacy Law, we guide you through creating a living will and selecting a trusted person to make medical decisions for you if needed.
A living will lets you outline your medical preferences in advance, including treatments you want or don’t want.
In addition to your living will, you can appoint a medical power of attorney to make health decisions on your behalf. It’s essential to choose someone willing and informed about your health preferences.
Since these documents serve different purposes, having both is advisable. Informing your doctor and family about them is important. Keeping a note in your purse or wallet about their location can be helpful in emergencies.
We are dedicated to helping you establish these documents, providing peace of mind that your healthcare wishes will be honored.

What's the difference between incapacity and disability?
Even though incapacity and disability are often used interchangeably, they mean different things.
Incapacity is when someone has trouble making decisions because of mental decline or illness. Disability is when someone has trouble doing regular activities because of physical limitations.
Both can make life tough, but they affect different parts of a person’s life.
But planning for either one is about protecting your life and what you own. It’s making sure that even if something unexpected happens, your wishes and your stuff are safe.
This planning isn’t just a backup plan; it’s like a promise that whatever happens, your dreams for the future won’t be stopped.
