@celia16 I am 43 and my husband is 46, so fairly young. Thank you for the advice, I will be looking into it.

@quintjl , yes, you both are young indeed. Has your husband applied for disability? Is he a veteran ? An attorney would be ideal to assist with disability, if that applies.

I’d also still consult with another attorney who can provide guidance on financial options. Much depends on income and assets. I’d explore Special Needs Trust and how your income could impact his qualification for certain benefits for your husband. To me, it’s rather complicated, because it involves state and federal laws, but a professional should be able to look at your particular facts and give guidance.

I’d also make sure you get your Durable and Healthcare powers of attorney properly executed for each of you. Best of luck with everything!
