Family Estate Plan Coordination Workbook

This workbook provides a step-by-step family coordination system by Memorial Merits to protect SSI and Medicaid eligibility for children with disabilities from accidental direct inheritance. It explains the strict $2,000 SSI resource limit and shows how even small gifts or inheritances can trigger immediate benefit loss and destabilize housing, healthcare, and support services. Built for parents and caregivers, the workbook combines education with practical execution tools: child benefit inventory sheets, Special Needs Trust coordination reference pages, family-member mapping and risk assessment, prioritization and approach strategy, relationship-specific conversation scripts, documentation logs, follow-up schedules, emergency response protocols, and consolidated professional contacts. The workbook is intended to be used alongside qualified estate planning and benefits counsel. Free distribution is permitted provided contents remain unaltered.
