Attorney and parent Barbara Jackins' new book is a must have resource for parents of children with special needs and the professionals and advocates who assist them. In an easy-to-read, conversational style, Jackins, the lead author of Special Needs Trust Administration Manual: A Guide for Trustees, covers the essential elements of SSI, guardianship, and estate planning when there is a child with a disability in the family. Although some of the materials are specific to Massachusetts, most of the strategies she discusses are valid in any state. If you don't live in Massachusetts, you can simply ignore the fine points about that state's guardianship laws and procedures. The rest of the book, her practical estate planning strategies and SSI pointers, will get you on track no matter where you live.
