We work frequently with clients who use Special Needs Trusts to protect their beneficiaries’ Social Security Disability (SSI) and Medicaid benefits. The Special Needs Trusts are either prepared to be funded during lifetime or through a Last WIll and Testament. The Special Needs Trust beneficiaries typically suffer from mental and physical disabilities or other issues. I have come to know how challenging the lives of those families can be and, in recognition of those challenges, I like to pass along information that might assist clients and friends with their daily living. Please read this recent U.S. News and World Report Blog Entry regarding the benefits of early intervention for children with Autism. We are all learning new and creative ways to assist individuals with special needs. I am hopeful that through estate planning and preparation of wills, trusts and other documents for clients we can do our part to enhance the family dynamic.
