We will discuss how special needs trusts (SNTs) may protect the assets of special needs individuals, without disrupting means-tested government benefits like SSI or Medicaid. In addition, we will discuss protecting adult special needs individuals by using a health care power of attorney, financial power of attorney, guardianship of the person, guardianship of the estate, or general guardianship.

He is a member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA), ElderCounsel, The North Carolina Bar Association Elder and Special Needs Law Section, the North Carolina Bar Association Estate Planning and Fiduciary Law Section, The North Carolina Bar Association Real Property Section, the Financial Planning Association (FPA), and is accredited to practice before the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA.)

Vance holds Doctor of Jurisprudence (JD), Master of Business Administration (MBA), and Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Biology with Honors degrees from the University of Texas at Austin, and holds a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree from Salem College, Winston Salem, North Carolina.

Vance has a particular passion for elder and special needs law. As an honors biology graduate at the University of Texas at Austin, and a former biomedical company executive, he understands the medical conditions that seniors and special needs individuals face. “I practice elder and special needs law to honor my parents and grandparents, whose quiet integrity and wisdom still guide my life, and whose love never fades,” he says.

Vance gained inspiration for his special needs focus within his legal practice from the special needs students he assisted while teaching Honors Chemistry, Biology, and Scientific Visualization in the Forsyth County and Guilford County, North Carolina public school systems.
