Trust and Estates Attorneys​

1. Special Needs Trust Planning

Attorneys can recommend handicap van providers to families establishing special needs trusts so funds are allocated for mobility vehicles without jeopardizing government benefits.

2. Guardianship & Conservatorship Cases

When attorneys assist guardians/conservators, they can connect them with the van company for accessible transportation solutions that improve quality of life.

3. Life Care Planning

Estate attorneys often build life care plans for clients with disabilities; integrating mobility vans ensures transportation is part of the long-term plan.

4. Settlement Planning for Injury Cases

If a client receives a settlement (e.g., personal injury or medical malpractice), attorneys can help direct funds into mobility solutions, including accessible vans.

5. VA Benefits & Elder Law

Attorneys specializing in veterans’ benefits can coordinate with handicap van providers for clients eligible for VA assistance programs that cover adaptive equipment.

6. Pooled Trust Referrals

Attorneys managing pooled trusts can recommend the van company when beneficiaries need accessible transportation – or rentals. (Bonus fact: Advanced Driving Systems is an NMEDA QAP Certified Dealer)

7. Corporate Fiduciary Relationships

Trust companies or banks serving as fiduciaries often need vetted vendors—attorneys can place the handicap van company on referral lists. Our team at Advanced Driving Systems is also well-versed in insurance policy reimbursement programs. We are happy to assist an attorney’s team in pointing your client or their caregiver to potential reimbursement programs. 

8. Educational Workshops

Jointly host seminars for families on estate planning + mobility solutions, showing how to plan financially and practically for accessible transportation.

9. Resource Guides for Clients

Attorneys can include the van company in their client resource packets for families caring for loved ones with disabilities.

10. Transition Planning (Aging Parents → Adult Children)

When parents pass on, attorneys can help ensure that beneficiaries inherit or purchase mobility vans to maintain independence.

11. Charitable Giving Strategies

Coordinate on philanthropic vehicles where donors leave funds for organizations that provide handicap vans to families in need.

12. Medicaid Planning

Attorneys can work with the van company to document adaptive transportation costs, helping clients structure spend-downs for Medicaid eligibility.

13. Probate Cases with Disabled Beneficiaries

When estates involve heirs with disabilities, attorneys can arrange van purchases or transfers directly with the van company.

14. Employee/Client Referral Networks

Attorneys may refer clients to the van company, and in return, the van company can refer clients back to attorneys for estate planning or trust setup.

15. Public Policy & Advocacy

Both groups can collaborate on disability rights initiatives, advocating for tax credits, grants, or funding that supports families buying handicap vans.
