Estate Planning

Chai Tikvah Foundation

By Hull & Hull LLP

On Tuesday, I spoke to a wonderful group at the Chai Tikvah Foundation on the topic of estate planning and providing for a disabled beneficiary.

'Chai Tikvah' means 'life' and 'hope'. 

The Chai Tikvah Foundation provides housing, support and education to psychiatrically challenged adults in Jewish residential settings to enable them to lead more productive lives, and to help them integrate into the community. The Chai Tikvah Foundation operates a housing facility in North York, and offers additional support and education to the residents, non-residents, their families, and to the community.

Special estate planning concerns and considerations arise where individuals have family members who have special needs. It was a pleasure to address some of these issues with the group.

To the Chai Tikvah Foundation, thank you for having me and for the wonderful services that you provide. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for reading.
