LEGAL PLANNING FOR SPECIAL NEEDS

Legal Planning for Special Needs: A Family Guide to SSI, Guardianship, and Estate Planning in Massachusetts explains the SSI program, guardianship, and estate planning for parents of children with disabilities. The most recent edition is from 2017. Legal Planning is not a legal treatise-it is written in plain English. According to one reviewer, the book reads "like a conversation over coffee with a very good, knowledgeable friend."... Legal Planning for Special Needs, located in Lexington, Massachusetts, is a law office for families like ours who have a member with a disability. My name is Barbara Jackins, and I have been an attorney for 35 years. When I am not assisting my clients, I volunteer for several local non-profit groups that serve people with disabilities and their families. I have also written several books on disability-related topics. But my most important role has been as a life-long advocate for my son with developmental disabilities who is now age 30.
