Special Needs Law focuses on minors or adults who may be physically or mentally disabled, or otherwise vulnerable. At J. Akin Law, we are dedicated to constructing legally binding documents that provide the protections your loved ones with special needs may require, such as Special Needs Trusts, Individualized Education Plans (IEP), Section 504 Plans, and Communication Plans.
Numerous laws and programs exist to provide those with special needs access to education, healthcare, housing, and more. Navigating this complex landscape can be daunting. Our Special Needs Law practice stays current on the latest information and changes in laws that can affect those with special needs.
We are committed to ensuring your vulnerable loved one has access to all available resources to assist in their care and maintain their quality of life. A Special Needs Trust is a type of trust that provides for your special needs family member after you’re unable to care for them. A third-party trust administrator, known as a Trustee, is appointed and responsible for utilizing the trust’s funds to deliver care and living expenses for your special needs relative. Special Needs Trusts have strict accounting rules, and money from a Special Needs Trust cannot be given directly to the special needs beneficiary.
Serving St. Augustine, Palm Coast, and Jacksonville
