HoganWillig has a long history of assisting families of individuals with disabilities. As corporate counsel to one of the major area providers of services to the developmentally disabled, People Incorporated, we have extensive experience in areas of law concerning this unique population.

We provide special expertise in the area of estate planning for the disabled, including supplemental needs trusts, tax planning, and drafting of wills, Living Wills, Health Care Proxies and Powers of Attorney. All are extremely important planning tools for meeting the needs of disabled individuals.
