Special Needs Trust- How They Can Help

For families caring for someone with a disability, a Special Needs Trust can be a great way to plan ahead without putting essential benefits at risk. It allows you to set aside funds for comfort, quality of life, care, and support, while still protecting access to programs like Medicaid and SSI. 

Every family’s situation is different. Some add to the trust little by little during their lifetime; many create the trust as part of their Wills. Others use funds from a settlement or gift. But all want the reassurance that their loved one will always have what they need. A Special Needs Trust can offer stability, dignity, and the ability for your loved one to live a full and meaningful life - without losing the resources that help them each day.
