Supplemental Needs Planning at Fennell Elder Law and Estate Planning: Safeguarding Your Loved Ones
Taking care of a loved one with special needs involves a complex layer of emotional, physical, and financial considerations. At Fennell Elder Law and Estate Planning, we understand this complexity and are dedicated to helping families, establish comprehensive Supplemental Needs Plans. Our goal is to ensure that your loved ones are taken care of, even when you are no longer able to do so yourself.
Understanding Supplemental Needs Planning
Supplemental Needs Planning (also known as Special Needs Planning) is a legal process that helps families provide for the financial needs of a family member with a disability, without jeopardizing their eligibility for essential government benefits such as Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
A well-drafted Supplemental Needs Plan typically involves the creation of a Supplemental Needs Trust (SNT), which holds assets for the benefit of a person with special needs. The trust can pay for various life-enhancing expenses without the funds being considered as available resources that could disqualify the beneficiary from public assistance.
