If you are like most people you probably have not properly addressed the future financial care of the special needs individual in your life. The fact is, most people have not written a will or taken the steps needed to take care of the individual’s future financial security. Why is this so important now? If your special needs child or other individual is unlikely to ever realize financial independence, then starting the planning now is essential to their future well-being.
A special needs child is not something you planned for.Yet, somehow,you took on the challenge and soon discovered all the blessings that came with your gift. Your child has shaped your life in ways you never anticipated. You have a special life. Annette Hammortree, a founding principal of Hammortree Financial Services, understands this. Her son has cerebral palsy. Because of him, she has dedicated much of her career to helping protect the financial futures of the physically and mentally challenged. “Protecting their future is the one goal all of us involved share,”says Annette.”But with all the other demanding needs, financial planning is one area that parents tend to put off too long.”
There are many legal, tax and other life planning issues such as future trustees, government benefit options, a “letter of intent,” proper beneficiary designation, housing and residence preferences, trust funds, commingled savings accounts, and medical care preferences are just a few of the things often overlooked.
“Forget-Me-Not” brings together all of the financial planning needed to secure the future life of your special needs individual. The-Forget-Me-Not special needs financial planning program is available only through Hammortree Financial Services, an organization dedicated to wealth preservation and asset protection.
The special needs financial advisors at Hammortree Financial Services have been providing life-planning services for special needs families for over 15 years.
