Special Needs Planning

The MassMutual SpecialCare program was developed to help educate families and caregivers of people with special needs about the importance and steps in creating a life care plan to help provide a secure financial future.

Our holistic approach begins with a foundation of the key areas of traditional financial planning including financial position, protection, investments, tax management, retirement planning and estate planning. Then, it continues to address the additional planning dynamics that families with special needs face, including:
