Letter of Intent Guide for Special Needs Families in Florida

A Letter of Intent is one of the most important documents a special needs parent in Florida can write. It is not a legal document but it may matter more than any legal document your child has. It tells future caregivers, guardians, and trustees exactly who your child is: how they communicate, what their daily routines look like, what medical information caregivers must know, what brings them comfort, and what their life looks like at its best.

This guide from Legacy Solutions Law Firm walks Florida families through every section of a Letter of Intent from personality and sensory needs to medical information, communication strategies, housing preferences, and legal and financial details. Each section includes prompts, examples, and insider tips from families who have already written theirs.

A Letter of Intent works alongside a special needs trust, guardianship or guardian advocacy, and a comprehensive Florida estate plan. Together, these documents protect your child legally, financially, and personally so the people who step in when you cannot will know exactly what to do and exactly how to do it with love.
