Establishing a Secure Future with Special Needs Trusts

It is never too late to begin planning for the future. Whether your child is still a minor or you are reaching retirement age, now is a great time to start the necessary estate planning that will secure your child’s future. Creating a stable future in which all their needs are met is not as simple as leaving them your assets. Often, this money disqualifies them from eligibility for crucial Medicaid and Social Security benefits.

Through creative uses of ABLE ACCOUNTS as well as establishing a special needs trust, sometimes referred to as a supplemental needs trust, you can leave your money and assets to your child without disqualifying them from the essential public benefits they require. With a special needs trust, the money is not distributed directly to the individual and is instead distributed to a third party who then secures the specified services for the individual beneficiary.

Benefits of a Special Needs Trust Include:

• Medical and dental expenses not covered by Medicaid
• Expenses associated with special dietary needs
• Costs associated with attending religious services
• Education and supplemental tutoring
• Entertainment expenses, including materials for hobbies and recreation
• Products and services that improve the quality of life of the beneficiary
• Travel and vacation expenses
• Transportation and vehicle maintenance
