TO FELLOW FAMILIES OF CHILDREN & ADULTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS, Brian Rubin, Attorney and Father of Mitch, who has Autism, has been presenting educational seminars for his fellow families of children and adults with special needs, "Heart to Heart", regarding government benefits, special needs trusts, guardianship and the alternatives and family communication, since 1982, when his own son with Autism was just one year old. When you love someone who has special needs, planning for that person's future can be an overwhelming task. Where do you begin? Who has the answers? How do you find professionals who understand the financial and legal complexities of the special needs' world? Could they possibly understand your emotions, concerns and fears? Imagine the relief of finding professionals who not only have answers, but have lived the very same experience. That's what "Heart-to-Heart" is all about. Attorney Brian Rubin has dedicated his career to special needs planning, because he, too, comes from a special needs' family. This is a unique educational seminar, offered as a public service to parent groups, sibling groups, schools, special recreation associations, residential programs, day programs, staff training, among other groups and organizations. The "Heart to Heart" seminar answers key questions such as: How much do I need to leave? Where will it come from? What "special" legal documents do I need? Who will make decisions in my place when I'm gone? What and how do I tell the rest of the family? The "Heart to Heart" presentation offers accurate financial and legal information, presented with compassion and understanding in an interactive format. The seminar covers the following topics: Government Benefits: The who, what, where, when, why and how of SSDI, SSA, SSI, Medicaid, Medicare, residential funding, day program funding, and related matters. Wills and Trusts: Special Needs Trusts, OBRA 93 Pay Back Trusts, Special Provisions in your Wills and Powers of Attorney, choosing future Guardians and Trustees, Short Term and Stand-By Guardian Declarations, Health Surrogate Act Declarations, and related matters. Necessary provisions in order for Divorce Child Support, when there is an adult child with special needs, not to prohibit, reduce or eliminate Government Benefits.
