Great event coming up!!

Join ASCO as we welcome Logan Philipps from Philipps & Graham, LLC for a special Webinar Series focused on planning for the future.

November 4th - Guardianship and Supported Decision-Making

This workshop will provide the opportunity to learn and ask questions about the differences between Guardianship and Supported Decision Making, and to gain an understanding of which option might best suit your needs.

November 11th - Special Needs Trusts, Benefits and STABLE Accounts This workshop will provide the opportunity to learn and ask questions about benefits with STABLE and Trust accounts. A STABLE Account is an investment account available to eligible individuals with disabilities. They allow individuals with disabilities to save and invest money without losing eligibility for certain public benefit programs, like Medicaid, SSI, or SSDI. Logan will talk about how special needs trusts and STABLE accounts can be used together to help plan and provide for the future of an individual with a disability.

Both workshops are FREE and offered via Zoom at 7:00pm. Please feel free to attend one or both!
