Vincent J. Russo, managing shareholder of Vincent J. Russo and Associates, P.C., recently hosted The Little Blackbird Workshop in Jericho, N.Y.

The event which was opened to the public, saw panelists and consumers in the special needs community gather to discuss issues impacting today’s families. The topic of this workshop focused on financial and legal issues affecting families with special needs.

It is not uncommon for my law firm to get a call from a family member who is at wits end in trying to help a loved one. Mom was very private and we do not know what assets she has? Dad never went to a lawyer and we don't know who has the right to make decisions for him? The hospital discharge planner is telling us that we need to do Medicaid planning to pay for nursing home care. The hospital wants to know who is the agent under a Health Care Proxy but my wife never signed one.
