Schools are back in session and it's time to remember to protect children with special needs year-round and for life.

If you are the parents of a child with special needs or thinking of leaving an inheritance to someone with special needs, we encourage you to carefully craft a special needs trust as part of their estate plan. 

A special needs trust in California is a legal arrangement that allows a person with a physical or mental impairment to still receive funding designated by state assistance programs without losing their eligibility. 

Trusts are designed to protect a person with supplement benefits should their financial circumstances change in the future.

Let us work with you to answer all of your questions about the terms of the trust and why it’s important. 

Trusts must be established before a beneficiary turns 65. 

These trusts, if properly written, can benefit the recipient while preserving their eligibility for social security and Medicaid.
