September 4, 2018 "Letter of intent clinic"
How can you ensure that your child will remain well cared for and secure once others assume the role of guardian or caregiver? While creating a financial plan and establishing a specialized trust are central to preparing for your child's future, special needs planners also advise families to write down their intentions and expectations in a document referred to as a Memorandum of Intent, also known as a "Letter of Intent."
A Letter of Intent is the most powerful and insightful way that you, the parent, can direct your child’s care after you are gone. While writing a Memorandum of Intent can be time-consuming and emotionally taxing, it's very important not to postpone this task. Without such a document, future caregivers will lack a comprehensive, thoughtful record of your child's history, needs, hopes and dreams.
We’re here to help you make progress on this important step. We invite you to attend our clinic on Tuesday, September 4th at 7:00 p.m. Registration is required, as space is limited. Registration closes August 15, 2018. Light “homework” will be assigned in advance of the clinic date. This clinic is complimentary for our clients, and a $50 donation to Turning Pointe Autism Foundation for non-clients. Click here to register.
