Sherman Oaks Immediate Family Care Needs: How We Help Our Clients
The Sherman Oaks immediate family care needs lawyers at the Law Offices of Andrew Cohen who have experience assisting clients like yourself with such matters as:
- Special needs trusts: You may establish a special needs trust for someone who is mentally disabled, physically disabled, or both. Doing so can allow them to receive benefits and support income without rendering them ineligible for such forms of public assistance as disability benefits, supplemental security income, etc.
- Guardianships: The team at our Sherman Oaks immediate family care needs law firm can assist you in providing for the care and security of a child under the age of 18. We can also help you ensure a child’s finances are managed responsibly.
- Conservatorship: There are various reasons an adult may be deemed unfit to manage their own finances or address their own care needs. A court may grant a conservatorship in these circumstances. We can help you demonstrate why a conservatorship is appropriate and necessary.
- Power of attorney: Someone with general power of attorney may have relatively broad legal authority to make decisions regarding another individual’s finances, medical care, and other such matters. Sometimes, power of attorney isn’t valid if the principal becomes disabled. It’s thus very important to account for all potential scenarios when drafting a power of attorney document.
- A durable power of attorney: Durable power of attorney is similar to a general power of attorney in many ways. The key difference is the inclusion of language in a durable power of attorney document indicating it will remain effective even if the principal becomes incapacitated in some manner.
