The Ability Beyond logo<\/p><\/div>\n

The idea of going the extra mile in a mission of enriching the lives of those who need a particular kind of assistance is encoded in the DNA and name of Ability Beyond<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Bethel-based organization is \u201cdedicated to empowering every person<\/a>, no matter their ability, to have the opportunity to live, work and thrive as an integral part of their community,\u201d and \u201chelps thousands of people with physical and mental disabilities discover their abilities and become a part of their communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Attorney Joshua Weinshank<\/a>, a Trust and Estate Partner with\u00a0Cramer & Anderson LLP<\/a>, has taken a leadership role that has him going the extra mile for Ability Beyond.<\/p>\n

Attorney Weinshank, who prioritizes community-minded activism,\u00a0was appointed in 2016 to Ability Beyond\u2019s Planned Giving Advisory Council<\/a>. He has since been named C\"\"<\/a>o-Chair of the council.<\/p>\n

Attorney Weinshank will be speaking at a May 20 Planned Giving seminar for the families of Ability Beyond clients<\/a>, focusing on special needs trusts, asset protection, estate planning and planned giving.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s open to families predominantly with folks who have disabilities,\u201d said Paul T. Bernetsky, Vice President of Development and Community Engagement for Ability Beyond. \u201cWe asked Josh to spearhead this and he was great to say yes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The presentation will follow one of Ability Beyond\u2019s periodic meetings with the families of Connecticut clients, which begins at 9:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

Joining Attorney Weinshank will be Attorney Alexis Gettier<\/a>, a tax and estate planning attorney with Day Pitney LLP and member of the Planned Giving Advisory Council, and Mark DeCruccio<\/a>, a Westport-based Senior Vice President and Private Client Advisor with U.S. Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe try to have a family meeting four times a year,\u201d said Bernetsky. \u201cThis time around the added benefit is a post-family-meeting of this group of professionals who will be there to have a conversation about estate planning.\u201d<\/p>\n
