Letter of Intent Clinic Webinar
2026-01-13 18:00 - 19:00
How can you help your child’s future guardian provide the best and most individualized care for your child after you are gone? Many parents write a “Letter of Intent” to guide future caregivers. This document outlines specific information about your child’s medical care, emotional needs, daily routine, living arrangements, the resources available to the caregivers, and hopes and dreams for your child. By capturing this knowledge in a written document, you can help the caregiver avoid “trial and error” and care for your child as seamlessly as possible.
Learn how to create an insightful and comprehensive “guide to your child” at this virtual clinic from the perspective of our special needs attorneys Kate Devine Schye and Jennifer Sabourin, who are also special needs parents. This clinic will be held via Zoom.
Our firm conducts this clinic for our fellow special needs families and clients on a complimentary basis. Download the flyer here!
