Special Needs Trusts

There are a few obstacles that caregivers need to consider when bequeathing assets or property to disabled family members. When it comes to Supplemental Security Income, Medicaid, and even basic living allowances, providing too much or too little of assets could mess with benefits, which is why a Special Needs Trust should be established.

Special Needs Trusts can help you and your family in numerous ways, including:

  • Supplementing already in-place governmental benefits for food, housing, and clothing
  • Provide recreational and social outing funds
  • Allowance for purchases such as hobbies, entertainment, sporting events, and electronics
  • In-home care or outing escorts
  • Medical expenses at facilities of your, or their choice
  • Dental coverage
  • Personal transportation vehicles or private pick-ups
  • Educational funds

Special Needs Trusts are established as a way to benefit the dependent beneficiary without limiting or interrupting their government-provided benefits, such as Social Security Income or Medicaid provisions.
