The Basics of Special Needs Trusts
Contains material from Feb 2018
Good course. However, somewhat difficult to follow online. Farrell's information is second to none, but it is sometimes hard to follow him and his power point. I hate to offer that criticism because his information is so helpful and he's a great guy.
