Planning for your child’s future can feel overwhelming, especially when trying to balance financial security while protecting access to important supports. Join us for an informative session on Henson Trusts, a valuable estate planning tool that can help families provide for their child’s long-term financial wellbeing while maintaining eligibility for ODSP benefits.

This session will feature special guest Fhara Pottinger of Waddington & Pottinger Law LLP, who will explain how Henson Trusts work and how they can be included in a Will to support future planning. Families will gain practical information and have the opportunity to learn in a supportive and welcoming environment.

During this session, families will learn:
