Episode 02: What happens to my child living with disability when I die? with Rohani Bixler, Special Counsel at Burke & Associates What happens when I die?

In this episode Anna is joined by Rohani Bixler, who is in a league of her own when it comes to supporting families/parents/guardians to put in place arrangements to make sure their child (or children) living with disability are looked after when they die or lose capacity.

Rohani is a pre-eminent expert in the field and has a deep personal connection to the subject making today’s episode so compelling and comforting. This is a subject rich in emotion, complexity and something the team at Australian Unity Trustees is asked about a lot.
