The Cornerstone of Special Needs Planning: Special Needs Trusts
Caring for a loved one with special needs is a profound commitment that brings both deep rewards and significant challenges. It is often time-consuming and financially taxing. While essential government programs like Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income provide much-needed support, their strict income and asset limits can pose a problem; even a small inheritance or financial gift has the potential to threaten your loved one's eligibility for these critical benefits. A special needs trust, or supplemental needs trust, serves as an effective solution, allowing you to hold assets for a beneficiary with a disability without affecting their eligibility for public assistance. At Rosenberg Law Firm, we specialize in helping families navigate the establishment and funding of trusts tailored to their individual circumstances.
Practice Areas Menu
We can help you navigate the different types of special needs trusts:
- First-Party Trusts: These trusts are funded with the beneficiary's own assets. Upon the beneficiary's death, any remaining funds must be used to repay any Medicaid liens.
- Third-Party Trusts: Funded by someone other than the beneficiary, such as a parent, grandparent, or other family member, these trusts are not subject to the Medicaid payback rule.
- Pooled Trusts: These trusts combine funds from multiple beneficiaries, allowing for a higher rate of return and professional management.
We’ll work with you to choose the right trust structure and ensure it's drafted to meet the specific needs of your family member, providing for their well-being while preserving their access to essential government programs.
Beyond the Trust: ABLE Accounts
Special needs planning involves more than just a trust. Our firm provides comprehensive legal guidance on a range of related issues, including:
- ABLE Accounts: For individuals with a qualifying disability that began before age 26, an ABLE account offers a tax-advantaged savings solution. These accounts allow the beneficiary to save for a wide range of expenses and even maintain a degree of financial independence while still retaining their eligibility for benefits.
