The Life Cycle of Families
Your plan should change when your life does.
Marriage, a new child, a growing business, an illness, a divorce: each one is a moment when the documents you signed may no longer fit. See what changes at each stage, and which documents to look at first.

Practice areas
Four ways we help, in the order families usually need them
Basic estate planning
A will, financial and health care powers of attorney, and a living will, written for your family as it really is: blended, unmarried, growing, or caring for a loved one with special needs.
Special needs trusts
A trust that holds an inheritance, settlement, or life insurance payout for your loved ones without counting against SSI or Medicaid resource limits.
Education advocacy
Authorization and records access so we can sit in on IEP and 504 meetings with you, plus create a clear roadmap of your rights and the district's deadlines.
Guardianship
Your legal authority as a parent ends the day your child turns 18. We file for guardianship — or the least restrictive alternative — well ahead of that birthday.
About DT Law
A practice built from both sides of the table
After six years of practice in civil litigation, attorney Yung Truong took time away from the law to work as a Registered Behavior Technician. While working with children on the autism spectrum, she discovered that her true calling lies at the intersection between caregiving and advocating for children with special needs.
"Most estate planning treats a disability as an exception to plan around. Here, it's the plan."
That background shapes every document this firm drafts: language a family can actually act on, trustees who understand what "supplemental needs" means day to day, and a guardianship timeline that starts before it becomes an emergency.
How it works
A straightforward path, from first call to a plan tailored to your unique needs.
Consultation
A conversation about your family, your loved one's needs, and which pieces of the plan matter most right now.
Plan
You'll get a clear, written recommendation — what to put in place now, and what can wait.
Draft & execute
Documents drafted, reviewed together line by line, and signed in compliance with Illinois law.
Review as life changes
Plans get revisited as benefits rules change, your child ages, or your family's circumstances shift.
Get in touch
Start with a conversation
The first consultation is about understanding your family's situation — there's no obligation, and no assumption about which services you'll need.
