263: Building Letters of Intent: Your Guide To Safeguarding The Future of Your Children


Listen Later

The process of planning for the future of disabled children is often overwhelming. 

 

In this episode of Parenting Impossible, I share how planning for the future of disabled children is a daunting yet essential task for their well-being and security. I talk about setting big goals for their future, including where they will live and work, who will support them, and the importance of creating a letter of intent to document their needs, routines, and preferences. I also highlight choosing trusted guardians and trustees who understand disabilities and complex systems like benefits and education. If you need support or resources to start this process, visit my website or reach out. You're not alone—I'm here to help.

 

In this episode, you will hear:

  • The importance of letters of intent in a child's future.

  • How creating trusts benefits children with special financial needs.

  • Why it is crucial to choose the right individuals for financial decision-making roles.

  • Key elements to consider when planning for disabled children's future.

  • Why clear communication of goals and plans are essential.
