More than 43 million Americans live with physical or mental disabilities. Many of these individuals are unable to advocate for themselves. Attorneys can assist in lifetime planning for the individual with special needs, advocate for them, and bring peace of mind to the parents and other relatives of these individuals.
Special needs trusts (also called “supplemental needs trusts” and “d4A trusts”) are a useful tool that allows the parents and caregivers of a special needs individual to save for the individual’s future. It permits transfer of assets and income without jeopardizing the special needs individual’s ability to receive government benefits, such as SSI and Medicaid.
