Special Needs Trust

A Special Needs Trust is a legal arrangement designed to hold assets for an individual with disabilities without affecting their eligibility for government benefits, such as Medicaid or Social Security. By placing money or property in this trust, the beneficiary can receive financial support for extra needs, like medical care, education, or personal services, without losing critical assistance. The trust is managed by a trustee, who ensures that the funds are used wisely for the beneficiary's benefit, maintaining their quality of life while protecting their access to essential public resources.
