The high cost of long-term care has made planning a critically important issue for most middle class seniors and their families.
In fact, most seniors will likely require some form of long-term care.
Sadly, many of them are unprepared for the significant financial burdens it places on their family's hard earned savings.
Financial devastation looms large for a family facing ongoing care at a rate of $10,000 or more per month.

If you currently provide care for a child or loved one with special needs (such as mental or physical disabilities), you must have contemplated what may happen to him or her when you are no longer able to serve as the caretaker.
While you can certainly plan for them to receive money and assets upon your passing, such a bequest may prevent them from qualifying for essential benefits under the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid programs.

Veterans Benefits are perhaps the most misunderstood and underutilized resources available to millions of veterans and their families.
While it is commonly known that certain benefits are available for the brave men and women who served in our armed forces, many veterans and their families are unaware that they could be eligible for an even wider range of benefits through the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), even if they did not directly retire from the military or suffer injuries in the line of duty.

Many people have preconceived notions about trusts and believe that they are only for multi-millionaires who wish to leave large trust funds to their children.
However, this is far from the truth; trusts can be invaluable tools in the estate plans of millions of individuals.
Trusts are simply an arrangement where one party holds property on behalf of another party.
In an estate planning context, trusts are created by the person doing the estate planning (the settlor), who authorizes another person (the trustee) to manage the assets for the benefit of a third party (the beneficiaries).
