Legal Essentials for Families with Disabled Adults: Podcast with Nimali Gamage
Nimali Gamage, Managing Partner at Goddard Gamage LLP, was invited to do a podcast with Randy Gunn, the VP & Portfolio Manager at Bullwealth Management Group, to discuss the key legal issues that parents with disabled children should be considering.
Most parents want to protect and support their children while also enhancing their autonomy and independence. When the child is an adult disabled child, the legal issues around balancing protection and autonomy are numerous and complex. This podcast touches on some of the legal issues that arise for disabled adults, such as estate planning tools, Henson trusts, guardianship applications, powers of attorney, ODSP issues, and the use of a RDSP account. It contains general information only about these issues and does not provide any specific legal advice, so please contact us if you would like to discuss your situation in detail.
