Protect Your Loved Ones With A Special Needs Trust

Do you worry about what will happen to your loved one who has special needs?

Legacy Planning Law Group can help you set up a special needs trust to address all of the needs of your child or family member who is handicapped or has other special needs.  Many parents have the best intentions, but do not act on them to make a plan for their child.  Leaving a special needs trust for your child is one of the most important and loving things you can do for them.

Leaving money in a trust for a loved one with special needs will allow them to continue to receive assistance from government programs.  The trust can provide things for them that the government programs will not provide, therefore providing them with a higher quality of life.  The trustee who you designate will ensure that the funds are being used in the way that you designate.  This type of trust is much is more effective than leaving money outright to one of the child's siblings or other relatives for several reasons:

  • You can ensure that all of the money will be spent on the special needs child.
  • The money left in trust will not be subject to credit problems, divorce, law suits or other financial problems that a sibling or family member may have.
  • You protect the privacy of the special needs child
  • You can designate your wishes for your child and convey your unique insights about your child - and leave them in a formal, written format

We can help you ensure you set up a great plan to take care of your loved one and give yourself peace of mind!
