Neurodivergent Adults

Discover how estate planning can benefit neurodivergent adults, ensuring financial security and independence.

How can estate planning support neurodivergent adults in maintaining financial independence?

Estate planning can be crucial for neurodivergent adults in achieving financial independence by setting up structures such as trusts that manage financial resources according to their specific needs and preferences. These plans can be tailored to accommodate unique cognitive and functional abilities, ensuring that financial management does not interfere with eligibility for government benefits. Moreover, estate planning is often used to provide a system of checks and balances, such as appointing a trustee or a financial advisor, to assist with complex financial decisions while respecting the adult's autonomy. This setup can be particularly helpful for those who may need support in financial guardianship and long-term wealth distribution management within legal parameters.
