Estate & Asset Protection Attorney, Victoria Collier informs readers that incorrect language and documents in estate planning documents for those with special needs is a specialized niche market that requires specialized legal expertise.

DECATUR, GA, October 9, 2019: Victoria L. Collier, founder of The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm, has posted a new blog on her law firm’s website entitled “The Importance Of Correct Estate Planning For Those With Special Needs,” in which Ms. Collier encourages readers to review their current plans.

Collier writes, “If you have a loved one who has a disability either from birth or acquired during his or her lifetime, and you want to provide for your loved one’s continued care after your death, it is imperative that you have the correct legal documents and the correct legal language to ensure proper care.” She adds, “This is a great time to review whatever legal documents you currently have in place, since certain laws may have changed since you had your documents drawn up.”

According to Collier, “Special needs planning is a specialized legal niche with its own language and documentation that is very different from regular estate planning.” “Likewise,” she says, “there are so many different varieties of special needs. For instance, perhaps your loved one was born with disabilities such as autism or Down’s Syndrome. Or perhaps your loved one became disabled as the result of a tragic accident or illness.” In addition Collier states, “There are also different levels of functioning among the disabled. Some may be high functioning, while others are not.”
