Learn the proven and easy-to-implement strategies that will make sure your child with a disability will live a safe, happy, and fulfilled life after you are gone ...with the amazing secrets and discoveries revealed in “Planning for the Future”….

Dear Parent,

With your permission, I am going to send you one of the most important and ground-breaking books ever released by an American publisher in the special needs field. News of this surprising “best-seller” is spreading like wildfire among parents who have a child with a disability of any age. In it you will find the complete “secret” solutions that all parents desire to guarantee their child with a disability will live a safe and happy life after they are gone…including little-known facts so powerful…they astonished the leading experts in the disability field who discovered them!

Here, finally, is your opportunity to learn the “world-class” secrets that only a handful of special needs lawyers who have practiced for decades know...including the “super-advanced” skills, know-how and techniques of ….

…How to build a fortress of safety around your child’s life…forever!

… The four “Suit of Armor Secrets” that shields the state from charging in like Attila the Hun to seize and pillage your child’s inheritance, draining it dry with cost-of-care claims for residential and medical expenses.

…How to leave an inheritance to your child the right way, so your child will remain eligible for SSI, Medicaid and other “needs-based” government benefits after you are gone.

…How to leap past misinformation and misunderstanding about guardianships by zeroing in on the little-known pros and cons of this common strategy! (And discover the four alternatives to guardianship.)

And that’s just a small “taste” of what’s in store for you. This book is called “Planning For The Future”…and it took me and Arnie (my co-author) a combined 41 years of experience advising parents who have a child with a disability before we decided to unveil everything and boil down our 41 years of experience fixing problems for our clients into just the cream for you! And now handed to you!

Copies have already sent shock waves through the U.S. media such as New York Times, Kiplingers, Consumer Reports, Exceptional Parent magazine, Estate Planning Magazine, and tons more.

I cannot stress how powerfully these secrets will affect your child’s safe future. There is no other information like this anywhere. Until now, only a tiny trickle of sound, proven strategies about how to plan for your child’s safe future leaked out from the handful of “cutting edge” lawyers with years and years of trial-by-fire problem-solving experience. With the release of “Planning For The Future”, you can now satisfy your own need to learn every secret

That anyone…Anywhere…Has Ever Discovered About Safeguarding Your Child’s Future!

I’m Mark Russell, your guide to securing your child’s future.

I was “born” into this field. My oldest brother, Jon (just turned 60), is dual diagnosed with both an intellectual disability and a bipolar disorder.

Sharing my brother’s struggles and triumphs has defined my career and my life.

In 1983, I wrote the first book in the country (no longer in print) on special needs trusts and “estate planning” for parents who have a child with a disability. Since then, I’ve advised hundred and hundreds of parents who have a child with a disability, helping them plan for the future security of their child with a disability.

I’ve been hired by a national insurance company to train a national network of attorneys and financial planners in this field.

I’ve also spoken to parents and professionals about how to secure their child’s future hundreds and hundreds of times at the request of national, state, and local “disability” organizations, and I’ve even presented a seminar on Public TV.

I also firmly believe in the concept of service to others. My zeal to work with charitable organizations includes appointments as Executive Director of the National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression, former U.S. representative to the International League on Disabilities (legal rights committee), and a founding member of one of the first private, charitable advocacy and guardianship organizations in the country.

My co-author of Planning For The Future is Arnie Grant. Arnie was very instrumental in helping his wife’s parents plan for the future of their son, who had a severe intellectual disability as well as cerebral palsy.

Arnie is a partner in a HUGE national law firm called McGuireWoods and taught tax law at Chicago Kent Law School. Arnie has also advised hundreds and hundreds of parents who have a child with a disability and wins those "super lawyer" awards. (Deservedly so!)

But enough about me and Arnie.

Here, in more specific detail, is what “Planning For The Future” reveals:

your child’s “life plan” will be a beacon of light and direction for your child’s advocates!

…but your child’s safe and happy future will be impossible to attain for most parents…unless you know how to uncover the small but powerful details about your child’s life that can make all the difference to his or her future happiness and safety. (Starting on page 51 )

give your child MAXIMUM benefits equal to approximately 75 percent of your (the parent’s) social security retirement benefit after you die. (Pages 178-180)

You can see why “Planning for the Future” is causing such a sensation among parents everywhere! The secrets about to be revealed to you will show you how your child with a disability can be safe and happy forever. And I’m not just talking about legal and financial matters, but a better life for your child on every level. You now have an amazing opportunity to enjoy what other parents can only dream about…namely a proven way of

finally feeling peace and confidence about your child’s future after you are gone!

If, for any reason (or no reason at all), you decide “Planning For The Future” doesn’t meet your exact needs…simply return it over the next FULL YEAR and we will return ALL of your money. No questions, no hassles.

It’s really very easy to understand. I want you to be completely satisfied that you’re getting the real deal, so you can safeguard your child’s safe and happy future.

That doesn’t bother me – I believe that giving you the chance to personally experience what this astonishing information offers…is simply the best way to “spread the word”. I have yet to meet a parent who can resist discovering -- at no risk – the secrets revealed here. Secrets like….

and save up to hundreds of thousands of dollars... This one secret could alone dramatically protect your child’s future happiness and security in an astounding way

This amazing book has been (correctly) called the single most important source of information for safeguarding your child’s safe future…especially if you are ready to give your child dramatic and almost immediate future security! It doesn’t matter if your child is a newborn or elderly…this proven information will reveal…

BREAKTHROUGH ESSENTIAL #1: Audio CD “Have You Made Any of These 19 Mistakes in Planning For Your Child’s Future?”

As a lawyer for over 25 years, the single biggest thing I’ve learned is to always (I mean always!) be on the look out for “what I don’t know.” It’s what you don’t know you don’t know is what kills ya in this field.

And the scary thing is…often it’s the most well-intentioned parents who fall prey to these traps for the unwary that will kill their child’s chances of having a safe and happy future.

I talk Plain English on the CD, just like you were in my office and we were meeting about your child. But, if there’s a part you want to rehear, just hit a button and replay it.

BREAKTHROUGH ESSENTIAL #2: SPECIAL REPORT: Who else wants a fast start checklist of provisions to consider for a bullet-proof special needs trust?

If you order right now, I’ll also include a FREE Special Report: Checklist of Provisions to consider for a bullet-proof special needs trust.

Warning: a poorly written special needs trust can be worse than having no special needs trust at all -- and a big waste of YOUR time and money. There’s nothing worse than having an attorney draft a special needs trust for your child with a disability and you later discover that the trust is all wrong or half wrong and half right. That’s a big frustration, and more importantly, a threat to your child’s safe future.

Plus: You can use this checklist when you’re working with your local attorney. It’s a great way to size up how experienced your attorney is in drafting special needs trusts. This simple process will help protect you from having to redo the documents at a later time. The checklist will also force you and your attorney to discuss key components of planning for the future security of your child with a disability.

It’s just 14 items on the checklist that can literally make the difference between whether or not your child is assured a safe and happy future.

>BREAKTHROUGH ESSENTIAL #3: Audio CD “Guardianship: Truth and Consequences”

Warning! This audio CD is ONLY for the open-minded!

Without a doubt, there are more myths, misconceptions, and lack of real understanding about guardianship than any other single topic about providing security for your child with a disability. Most parents have an understandably overwhelming emotional need to protect their child and because of that they often lean toward becoming a guardian over their adult child (over age 18 in the most states).

On the other hand, some parents don’t want to legally judge their child incompetent…don’t want to subject themselves to court oversight… don’t want to spend the money getting guardianship if they don’t have to -- particularly if they don’t understand all the consequences beforehand.

To get to the real truth about guardianship you’ve got to dig deep. A lot deeper than what most parents hear about guardianship from the school social workers just before their child turns 18 (21 in a few states). It’s the social workers job to raise the issue, but you’ve got to dig a lot deeper to get at the truth about guardianship. As a practical matter is guardianship a good option for your child?

With this audio 51-minute CD, I walk you through the real deal.

“Uncensored” material I’ll bet you’ve never heard before.

Just listen to this CD and discover why you’d want to get guardianship, why you wouldn’t want to get guardianship, and all the alternatives in between.

Here’s the deal: The cost of this incredible investment to safeguard your child’s future is just $89 – that includes everything. (That’s about what it would cost to hire me for about 20 minutes, and we’re giving you 41 years of experience on a “silver plate”! My colleagues think I’m nuts not to charge more. And I probably will have to raise my prices pretty soon, because just producing everything costs a small fortune.)

Plus my iron-clad FULL YEAR (no questions, no hassles) money-back guarantee.

PLUS…YOU STILL GET TO KEEP THE SPECIAL REPORT AND BOTH AUDIO CDs (if you ever decide to return “Planning For The Future”)

And what you pay doesn’t even amount to much more than a couple of dinners out with your family. Yet, what you get is worth so much more. The confidence and peace of mind that your child is safe and protected for the rest of their life, no matter what happens.

<>There’s no price you can put on that. There’s no amount of money you can spend that can buy you that kind of peace of mind and confidence in your child’s safe future. But you can earn it…and having these resources is, absolutely without doubt, the best and easiest way for you to do that!

But you must order right now – while you are reading this letter. And while you are “focused” on the fact that – truly – your child’s future is about to be made more safe and happy…as soon as a few short days from now!

They realize how important this information is. Here’s some of their comments:
