Protecting Benefits and Futures

A standard inheritance can have devastating consequences for a person with special needs, potentially disqualifying them from essential government benefits like SSI and Medicaid (AHCCCS/ALTCS). We specialize in creating robust legal structures to prevent this:

• Special Needs Trusts: We draft Third-Party and First-Party trusts that allow your loved one to enjoy financial support without losing their benefits.
• Guardianship: We assist parents in obtaining legal guardianship when their children turn 18, ensuring they can continue to make medical and financial decisions.
• Estate Planning: comprehensive planning for the entire family to ensure peace of mind.

A Team That Cares

Our firm is built on compassion and empowerment. We know that the legal system can be intimidating, especially when discussing sensitive family matters. Our team is patient, kind, and professional. We take the time to explain every option in plain language. Whether you are looking to hire an attorney for a complex guardianship matter or simply need to update your Will, we treat you like family. We are deeply involved in the community, supporting the Down Syndrome Network of Arizona and SARRC.

We help families move from apprehension to security, comfort, and acceptance.
