The Story of Craig & Sandra
Craig and Sandra have four children, including Will, who has Down Syndrome. At 25, Will receives SSI and Medicaid, but his parents still need to support him financially. They worry about Will's future if something happens to them. They remember the challenges of securing public benefits for Will and know that even a small inheritance could make him lose those benefits. Craig and Sandra aren't wealthy, and they want to ensure Will is cared for without disinheriting his siblings.
Some friends suggested leaving all their assets to their other three children to protect Will's benefits, but they didn't want to disinherit Will. Will needs the inheritance more than the others, and giving it to one of them could mean he never receives it if something unexpected happens, like a death or bankruptcy. Craig and Sandra sought advice from Morton Law Firm. There, they learned about a special trust that allows them to leave Will's inheritance for extra expenses without affecting his benefits. They created a Special Needs Trust for Will, ensuring all their children are treated fairly and Will's inheritance is secure. They also appreciate that any remaining funds will go to their other children, not the government. Now, Craig and Sandra have peace of mind, knowing they've secured Will's future.

What Makes Us Different?
Were you told not to bother applying for the Aid & Attendance Special Pension Benefit for Wartime Veterans because “no one ever gets approved?” Our firm’s 5 step process has been qualifying veterans and their widowed spouses for this valuable benefit for over a decade.
Worried about how your child with special needs will get proper care when you are no longer available to help? Our firm helps families provide financially for their special needs children without costing them their government benefits.
Our firm has a 5-step process to ensure that all the details of your loved one’s estate are handled with a minimum of delay. When it comes to Mississippi Probate, we literally wrote the book.
Other firms practice “Elder Law” as one of a dozen other unrelated practice areas without any recognized specialization. Our firm knows how to qualify people for public benefits while protecting as much of what’s theirs as the law allows, and we have the certifications and credentials to prove it. It’s what we do … It’s the only thing we do.
"My experience was unexpectedly easier than I imagined. It was very efficient with timely results. I have recommended your service to several close friends. I was that confident and pleased with my results. Unfortunately, I needed to use your help after the sudden passing of my wife in late 2013. Your help was invaluable. Thank you for your kind assistance."
