How to Have a Happy and Sustainable Retirement
In the midst of this pandemic you may be wondering how it will affect your retirement. The retirement landscape is continuously changing and evolving and in our current environment there are major risks at every step.
Estate Planning For Families With Special Needs Children
22% of US population has a disability, 1 out of 5. And that means approximately 20% of people have some sort of disability. Estate planning is crucial for those who are disabled and receiving governmental benefits. If a disabled child receives an inheritance, gift, lawsuit award or settlement, child support, alimony or a gift, this may disqualify the child from receiving governmental benefits. With the appropriate planning, a disabled child can safely receive an inheritance, for example, while preserving these governmental benefits.
