(Special) Trust Issues
As a parent, the thought of leaving your children behind in your passing is never easy. You wonder if you’ve left them with everything they’ll need to find their own success, avoid any possible catastrophes, and are able to live a happy and fulfilling life.
This goes double for the parents and guardians of people with special needs. It’s easy to spend endless waking nights wondering what will happen to your children after you’re gone, especially if they are incapable of taking care of themselves without assistance.
This is complicated further by the elimination of eligibility for your special needs children to receive government aid due to even modest inheritances after your passing. These small nest eggs may not even be able to last them a year, but they will nonetheless be ineligible for governmental assistance due to income requirements.
That’s where special needs trusts come into play. Special needs trusts act as separate entities that parcel out funds as needed after the guardian passes, so the beneficiary is able to receive the full amount of government assistance they require while being supplemented by income provided by the trust.
Special needs trusts are complicated to set up and come with a number of options that may impact the beneficiary’s future, so it’s highly recommended that you seek out a trusted special needs trust law firm that has had plenty of success in the field.
