Jimmy D. Long, Jr. is proud to have been selected to join the prestigious Academy of Special Needs Planners.  The Academy is a national member organization committed to advancements in estate, financial, and life planning for persons with developmental, physical, or mental needs, and their parents and other caregivers.

Special needs planning is a broad field within the practice of estate planning, and addresses a number of concerns, such as:

• providing a plan for the legal, financial, and lifestyle needs of a person with special needs after their parents are deceased;
• creating trusts and other legal structures to ensure that money is protected for the benefit of persons with special needs and not squandered due to the individual's inability to make prudent legal and financial decisions;
• establishing eligibility for governmental benefits, such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid;
• structuring the assets of the parent or special needs individual to ensure that governmental benefits are preserved throughout that person's lifetime and not lost at a later date due to inheritances and gifts that the special needs client might receive.
