Belmar Public Library's Family Law Series: How to Ensure a Successful Transition to Adulthood for Special Needs Children - TAPinto.net
BELMAR, NJ — Attorney Tina M. James will focus on ways to ensure that special needs children have a successful transition to adulthood during a disability law presentation on Wednesday, December 1 at the Belmar Public Library.
James, an advocate for special needs families, will provide an in-depth look at guardianships, including the difference between a plenary guardianship and limited guardianship, and between a guardianship of the person and guardianship of the estate.
She also will address obtaining physician certifications, the role of a court-appointed counsel and options for supported decision-making when a guardianship is not appropriate. In addition, she will discuss applying for entitlements, such as supplemental security income, Medicaid, educational entitlement in the school system, and services offered through the N.J. Division of Developmental Disabilities.
The free session, which begins at 6 p.m., will conclude the library’s three-part educational series titled “Disability Law for Families of Children with Special Needs,” designed to provide important information and advice to families with special needs members.
In her first session, James offered an introduction on how planning for the future requires careful consideration of various legal and lifestyle concerns for families who have a child, grandchild or a sibling with special needs (see video below).
Throughout her career, James’ legal work has focused on estate planning and administration, guardianship and decision-making, discrimination, special education and special needs planning for individuals with disabilities and their families.
Before starting her own South Amboy-based firm in early 2021, she worked at a boutique law firm serving people with disabilities and their families. Prior to that, the Rutgers University School of Law graduate worked as a litigator with a national law firm where she successfully litigated probate and guardianship matters.
The presentation will be held in person at the Belmar Public Library, located at 517 10th Avenue on the corner of E Street. For those who cannot attend, it will also be livestreamed on the library’s Facebook page.
