Special Needs Planning

A person receiving governmental benefits such as SSDI, SSI, Medicaid, and Medicare can protect his or her assets with specialized trusts drafted for that purpose. These trusts may be funded by the person receiving benefits or a third party. In addition to trusts, Massachusetts allows the creation of ABLE Accounts, which have fewer restrictions and requirements than trusts.

When minors are disabled, oftentimes, well-meaning grandparents want to leave assets to a disabled grandchild. Without a properly drafted trust already in place, however, these assets could become part of the disabled beneficiary's estate, thus ultimately going to the state. Parents of disabled children should do the proper planning NOW to to ensure that the disabled child and other children are taken care of later.
