DisABILITIESBOOKS

Since 2004, DisABILITIESBOOKS has been involved in the development of two fine books that explain complicated legal issues. Managing A Special Needs Trust: A Guide For Trustees (DisABILITIESBOOKS, 2012) by Barbara D. Jackins, Richard S. Blank, Ken W. Shulman, and Harriet H. Onello is an invaluable guide for anyone who is managing a special needs trust for a person with a disability. In clear, easy to understand language, the authors explain how a trustee can use trust funds to meet the financial needs of a person with a disability and still comply with the complex rules of government benefit programs. Legal Planning for Special Needs In Massachusetts: A Family Guide to SSI, Guardianship, and Estate Planning (AuthorHouse, 2010), by Barbara D. Jackins, attorney and parent, is a practical guide to legal planning for parents of children with special needs. In a relaxed, conversational style, Jackins explains the essentials of SSI, guardianship, and estate planning when there is a family member with a disability. Although some of the materials are specific to Massachusetts, most of the strategies discussed are valid in any state. Special Offers enable customers to purchase two or more different books and save.
