The deceased person may have been a caretaker for an elderly spouse, relative, or friend. There are many options to arrange for their care - including another family member or friend, home care, or a living facility.
The deceased person may have made a plan or trust for their dependent with special needs. There are also designated caseworkers to support this process.
This may be one person, or the role of caring for the child and managing the child's financials can be split between two people.
