What Is A Special Needs Trust?
If you have a loved one with special needs and you’re their main source of support, you probably worry about what will happen to them if you should pass on. A special needs trust is a way to set aside funds to support family members who cannot support themselves completely after you pass away. Whether your loved one has dementia, a lifelong disability, or another condition, you don’t want to leave their care to chance. Setting up a special needs trust is the best gift you can leave to them when you depart from this life. Our estate law team can help. Make an appointment to discuss what a special needs trust can do for you today.
What Are the Benefits of a Special Needs Trust?
Many people with disabilities are eligible for government benefits. However, if you simply leave a sum of money or other valuable assets to them in your will, that usually makes them ineligible for those benefits. Creating a special needs trust can allow your loved one to continue receiving government benefits while giving them a financial safety net to meet their needs. If your special needs family member needs a guardian after you pass, a special needs trust can provide for that situation as well. Don’t risk your loved one’s future when a special needs trust is available. Let one of our estate attorneys create a special needs trust for you today.
