After We're Gone: Disabilities and Estate Planning

Caring for someone who is dependent due to a significant disability is a major responsibility. Making provisions for that person's physical, emotional, and financial well-being after the death of the caregiver can be complex and confusing. This webinar is a resource for estate planning for families with a dependent disabled family member.


Here are some related resources: 

  • The Special Needs Alliance is one of the organizations our presenter Jennifer Lile is a part of. At their website, www.specialneedsalliance.org, you can access a directory of attorneys who understand the intricacies of disability law. Their directory is searchable by state.

  • If you are an Everence member, you are eligible for a “Will Preparation Grant,” which reimburses $50 of the cost for a new or updated will. More information can be found at this link: https://www.everence.com/living-the-values/grants-and-scholarships-and-awards. Additionally, should a Special Needs Trust be the appropriate solution for your situation, the Everence Trust Company is able to manage such a trust on your behalf.
