Maple Law Group is committed to supporting individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their families through compassionate, informed legal guidance.

 

Our practice includes helping individuals with special needs to create comprehensive life plans that address current needs and anticipate future care, housing, and financial considerations. Autonomy and dignity are paramount, so we advise clients on supported decision-making as an empowering alternative to guardianship. When necessary, we assist with guardianships and conservatorships, always exploring the least restrictive options and tailoring legal solutions to each individual’s capabilities and needs. Our approach balances protection with respect for independence.

 

We also assist families of individuals with special needs to establish third-party special needs trusts as part of estate planning to preserve eligibility for essential public benefits like Medicaid and SSI. 

​

Maple Law Group offers free consultations to discuss which parts of supported decision-making is right for your family.  Call (734) 519-1019 or email info@maplelawgroup.com to set an appointment.
