Roots & Rights: Securing Tomorrow

In this episode of Roots & Rights: Securing Tomorrow, Attorney Gregory Robinson breaks down the essential foundations of special needs estate planning and explains how families can protect loved ones with disabilities without jeopardizing access to critical government benefits like SSI and Medicaid. Attorney Robinson explains that special needs planning goes far beyond a basic will. A properly structured Special Needs Trust (SNT) allows families to leave financial support to a loved one with a disability while keeping them eligible for public benefits. He also discusses ABLE accounts, which provide tax-advantaged savings options for individuals whose disabilities began before age 26, allowing families to save for education, housing, transportation, and other qualified expenses without affecting benefit eligibility. The episode also highlights common mistakes that can derail even well-intentioned estate plans, including leaving direct inheritances, failing to update beneficiary designations, and neglecting guardianship and decision-making documents. Through a real-world case study, Attorney Robinson shows how a simple oversight can cause a loved one to lose Medicaid coverage—and how proactive planning could have prevented costly legal fixes later. Finally, listeners are guided through practical next steps, including building a trusted care team, choosing the right trustee, assessing long-term support needs, and connecting with disability advocacy organizations such as The Arc and local support networks. Attorney Robinson emphasizes that strong special needs planning is not just about finances, but about preserving dignity, independence, and long-term stability. This episode reinforces a powerful message: special needs planning is not a one-time task, but an ongoing strategy to protect your family’s future and your loved one’s quality of life. Families are encouraged to start early, update plans regularly, and work with experienced professionals to avoid preventable risks.
