The hardest question parents of special needs children face: “What happens to my child when I’m not there?” ๐Ÿ’”

Regular financial planning ends at education and marriage. Special needs planning? It’s lifelong.

Rajesh, father of 8-year-old Aarav (autism spectrum). His planning isn’t about college fundsโ€”it’s about building a financial fortress that protects Aarav for the next 60+ years.

๐ŸŽฏ The 3-Tier Security System
โ†’ Immediate needs fund: โ‚น15L (therapy, special education, medical)
โ†’ Long-term care corpus: โ‚น2.5Cr target (generates โ‚น60K/month perpetually) โ†’ Guardian fund: โ‚น50L (compensates sibling/caregiver for lifetime responsibility)

๐Ÿ“Š The Smart Structure
โ†’ Special Needs Trust (protects assets, ensures proper use)
โ†’ Succession guardianship legally documented
โ†’ Life insurance: โ‚น1.5Cr term cover (NOT traditional plans)
โ†’ Health insurance: โ‚น25L with lifelong renewability
โ†’ Monthly SIPs: โ‚น40K across diversified equity + debt

๐Ÿ”ฅ The Critical Safeguards
โ†’ Will with explicit special provisions
โ†’ Nomination clarity across ALL investments
โ†’ Letter of intent (Aarav’s routine, preferences, medical history)
โ†’ Government schemes maximized (disability pension, tax benefits under Section 80DD/80U)

๐Ÿ’ก The reality: Special needs children need 3X more financial planning than typical retirement.

Rajesh’s target? A self-sustaining fund that ensures Aarav’s dignity, care, and independenceโ€”forever.

This isn’t planning. This is unconditional love converted into financial security.
