Planning for the financial future of a loved one who receives disability? Understand that giving this person anything of value (such as in a regular will or trust) will result in a reduction of SSI and Medicaid. Avoid this cruel result by creating a special needs trust. This book explains how these trusts work, and shows you how to set one up, with or without a lawyer.

Leave money to a loved one with a disability—without losing benefitsUse a special needs trust to provide financial security for your child (or anyone) with a disability, without jeopardizing important government benefits. Funds in a special needs trust, when used correctly, do not count against eligibility for benefits and can be spent to improve the quality of your child’s life.

This book provides everything you need to know about special needs trusts—whether you make one yourself with this book or have an attorney draft one for you. The authors explain:

  • how special needs trusts work
  • the trustee’s role
  • ways to pass important information to successor trustees
  • the pros and cons of joining a pooled trust.
