SUMMARY:An Overview of Guardianship\, The ABLE Act and Special Needs Trusts
DESCRIPTION:Parents who feel that their child with a disability will require assistance to make decisions\, manage finances\, manage daily living and provided informed consent when they become adults at the age of 18 or want more information about setting up special savings accounts under the ABLE Act or special needs trust should attend.
