While most family members of children with a disability are most concerned about their immediate needs, parents and others regularly ask the question: “How will my loved one be cared for when I am no longer able?” Dan Kline and Marvin Brinkman of The Andrew-Benjamin Group will lead a discussion on topics such as Social Security, Guardianship, Special Needs Trusts, Medicaid and the importance of making these plans on a timely basis to provide the best quality of life. Dan has an adult son with Down Syndrome, while Marvin has a son with Asperger Syndrome and have lived through most of these issues themselves. As founding partners of The Andrew-Benjamin Group, they help families through this process on a daily basis.

Guardianship in Nebraska has changed. The reporting requirements for guardians/conservators has also changed resulting in more information which must be provided to the court and other interested parties. Qualifying as a new guardian/conservator will be more difficult and will include extensive background checks and mandatory bonds. This educational event will focus on the forms and procedures arising from the new guardianship/ conservatorship laws which became effective January 1, 2012. These laws were enacted by the Nebraska legislature in response to several widely publicized cases of fraud.
Please plan to attend one of our webinars. The information will be presented by a legal representative of The Andrew Benjamin Group.
