Barnum Financial Group's
Center for Special Needs Planning

The Barnum Financial Group’s Center for Special Needs Planning represents a beacon of hope for families with dependants with special needs. The Center and its dedicated network of specialists is committed to helping families through the maze of legal and financial complexities surrounding planning for the future of their dependants while maintaining their quality of life. Our commitment is to help caregivers secure eligibility for community based resources to create the highest level of independence for loved ones with special needs. Through the Center, families have access to financial and estate planning advisors who have the training and personal experience to provide a service that is both meaningful and unique to your situation.

Why is planning important?  The fact is that only ten percent of parents have planned sufficiently for their child’s future. Many people are unaware that there is a federal law that states, if you leave a person with special needs over $2,000, he or she will automatically lose eligibility for most government benefits. That is a federal law; each state has its own limits.

• Who will look out for my child's interests after I'm gone?
• Where will my child live?
• What types of government benefits are potentially available?
• Will finances be adequate to take care of my child?
• Who will take my child to his/her favorite activities and expose them to new ones?
• Will my child be happy, healthy and secure?

Comprehensive planning leaves nothing to chance.  Specialists are trained to guide parents every step of the way.
