Koenig’s presentation will address the issue of a growing disabled population requires planning for special needs as well as meeting the needs of those who may not have planned ahead. Creating a plan that will assist a family member who cannot provide for himself should accomplish the preservation of governmental benefits eligibility, the enhancement of the person’s life by supplementing governmental benefits, and meeting the person’s wishes for the ultimate distribution of his assets. In the absence of a plan, addressing the disabled person’s needs through guardianship provides much needed protection.
