Protecting Your Child’s Future With A Special Needs Trust
If you have disabled children, ensuring that they have access to the financial resources they will need after you are gone is a major concern. Medical care and other expenses combined with little or no earning capacity can create a precarious situation that calls for a substantial intervention on your part.
Creating a sound financial safety net for your child is often best accomplished through the establishment of a supplemental or special needs trust with the help of an attorney. These trusts allow parents to set aside funds to assist their disabled children with various needs related to their disabilities. A special needs trust can be established for either minor or adult disabled children.
Utilizing A Trust To Preserve Public Benefits
With all of the advancements in modern medicine, people with disabilities are living longer than ever before. Public benefits are often necessary, yet while the need is increasing, government programs are being curtailed due to economic pressures and budget constraints. There is simply no guarantee that public benefits will always be available to provide adequate resources for the disabled person’s lifetime.
Still, for many special needs persons, valuable government benefits need to be preserved. Careful planning is required in order to design a plan that will supplement government benefits worth preserving, but be flexible enough to address future changes and ensure that proper care is received.
