A limited conservatorship is a legal arrangement that gives a parent or guardian the authority to assist an adult child with a disability with decision-making in specific areas, while allowing them to maintain as much independence as possible. This type of conservatorship is often used for individuals with developmental or intellectual disabilities who need help managing finances, medical care, or other important matters.
By establishing a limited conservatorship, you can ensure your loved one receives the support they need without unnecessarily restricting their autonomy. Hall Law Group guides families through the court process, helping to prepare the necessary documentation and navigate each legal requirement with confidence.
Coordinate with an SNT to manage funds for your adult child without affecting eligibility for government benefits.
An ABLE Account allows money to be set aside for a person with a disability similar to the way that one may save for college education. This money can grow tax-free over time and withdrawals are allowed for qualifying expenses toward the care and support of the account owner/beneficiary without jeopardizing eligibility for public benefits (provided the account balance does not exceed $100,000).
An SDM Agreement is an arrangement between the disabled adult and one or more trusted adults who agree to work together to support the individual with special needs.
