Special Needs Trusts and Disability Life-Care Planning

Since 2007, Ann McGee Green has been an invited member of the Special Needs Alliance, an exclusive national network of disability and public benefits lawyers. She guides families through creating first-party and third-party special needs trusts, ensuring that inheritances or personal injury settlement proceeds do not jeopardize vital Supplemental Security Income or Medicaid benefits. In addition, she counsels families through lifecycle transitions, such as when a child with special needs reaches legal adulthood. When parents seek to hire an attorney who can build a comprehensive life-care plan that guarantees lifelong support for their child, her strategic guidance offers lasting peace of mind.

Comprehensive Estate Planning, Living Trusts, and Probate Administration

Beyond disability planning, Ann McGee Green maintains an acclaimed trusts and estates practice. Acting as knowledgeable wills lawyers and trusts lawyers, she drafts revocable living trusts, durable general powers of attorney, healthcare proxies, and living wills. As dedicated estate planning lawyers and power of attorney lawyers, she ensures legal decision-making powers are clearly assigned to trusted fiduciaries before cognitive impairment occurs. When an aging parent suffers from dementia without advance directives in place, she represents relatives in court-ordered guardianship and conservatorship petitions. Furthermore, serving as skilled probate lawyers, she assists executors with probate administration and fiduciary accountings. When urgent medical crises require immediate protective orders and adult children need an attorney urgently, her office acts decisively to protect family interests.
