Legal Counsel for Creating a Trust for Those with Special Needs
If you have a family member currently receiving public benefits, or who will be eligible to receive benefits in the future, a Special Needs Trust should probably be part of your estate plan. It can be set up with your estate plan so that it is created upon the death of parents or other family members. Another option, an Irrevocable Trust can be created to the benefit of the disabled person during a parent's or relative's lifetime.
Form a Special Needs Trust to Allow the Supplement of Benefits
Creating a Special Needs Trust is a method for you to provide help to an individual
who is already receiving government benefits. Using a trust allows funds to aid a
disabled person, without disqualifying them from benefits such as SSI and Medi-
Sometimes, Special Needs Trusts are created when a disabled family member will receive funds from from a settlement or an inheritance, therefore having the money in a trust will still allow the government benefits to be received.
Extra Care for Your Loved Ones
Providing for your family is important, especially when children or relatives cannot provide for themselves. Government benefits help care for the disabled, but you can further provide for special options using a Special Needs Trust to ensure your loved one is comfortable and well taken care of.
