The headline on the front cover story is "Where parents can find help with financial planning." The inside story discusses the estate and financial planning problems of special families- and persons with disabilities. The author, Ben Matlin, discusses three programs- ASK, EPPD and the NILP. ASK is a financial planning firm in Baltimore which does pure financial planning. It does not charge a fee for services because it makes money off of the sale of a life insurance policy. The EPPD program is national program which charges flat fee for life planning counseling so that there is No perceived pressure to buy products. The NILP program doesn't do any planning. It is simply a clearinghouse. It can refer you to life planners, attorneys, advocates, etc. around the country (home page is http://sonic.net/nilp ) You can check out the other resources of Evan Kemp's organization- the one that publishes the newsletter - and even subscribe by going to their home page on http://disability.com Check out this great article.
