Tompkins
County Public Library and the National Association of Mental Illness, Finger
Lakes (NAMI) will recognize Mental Illness Awareness Week with a panel
discussion on will and trust planning for individuals with family members who
have special needs October 4 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the Library’s BorgWarner
Community Room.
Panelists: Matt Albright, pooled trust supervisor for Rochester’s Center for Disability Rights; local attorney Joy Blumpkin; Certified Specal Needs Advisor with Merrill Lynch Steve Headrick and Tom Witmer, a special needs planner with MetLife Elmira, will answer questions about all facets of planning for the long-term care of those with special needs.
Topics addressed will include how to leave assets for loved ones who are limited in what they can own or how much money they can have in order to remain benefit eligible and for those who may need to receive supplemental funding for the duration of their lives.
Mental Illness Awareness Week is held each October and was established to recognize NAMI’s work to educate and increase awareness about mental illness.
