Special Needs Trusts (SNT)
A Special Needs Trust (SNT) is a legal arrangement designed to hold and manage assets for a person with a disability. It ensures the individual receives financial support without jeopardizing eligibility for government programs like Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The trust is managed by a trustee, who distributes funds for the beneficiary's supplemental care and needs. SNTs help preserve assets, provide financial security, and improve quality of life, all while maintaining the individual's access to essential public benefits.
