Special Needs Trusts
Individuals with special needs often rely on needs-based government benefits. This includes programs like Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and ALTCS (Medicaid). Unfortunately, these programs place limits on what a person can own or earn. In the event a special needs individual receives an inheritance or compensation from a court settlement, it could disqualify them from these essential programs.
We help individuals and their families set up Special Needs Trusts, protecting their funds while ensuring they’re not barred from getting the help they need. Let us put our expertise to work for the best interests of your family.
