A special needs trust can provide lifelong financial security for a special needs individual without disturbing eligibility for public benefits. As a vital supplement to public benefits, special needs trusts can pay for items and services that public benefits do not cover.

This well-attended seminar presents the most up-to-date information about special needs trusts, the ways in which special needs individuals can benefit, and how families can best approach creating and maintaining a trust for a special needs individual.

In addition, the seminar will cover the latest information about government benefits, housing, the recently-passed ABLE Act, and a number of other topics important to families of special needs individuals.

The seminar will be held at the Crowne Plaza Cabana in Palo Alto. Specific information and online registration can be found on the Gilfix & La Poll Events page.

The seminar is regularly co-sponsored by notable organizations including Autism Society San Francisco, Institute on Aging, Fremont Bank, Morgan Autism Center, Jewish Family and Children’s Services, Life Services Alternatives, and the Pacific Autism Center for Education (PACE). A number of these organizations will be in attendance and available to provide information about services at both sessions of the seminar.
