River Edge Special Needs Trust Lawyers Helping You Look After Your Loved Ones
If you live with a loved one who has a disability, then you are probably all too familiar with the burdening worry that comes with thinking about their future. These concerns probably include how they will be supported financially in the future, who will take care of them if something happens to you, and what you can do to give them a better quality of life.
If these are familiar, you will be able to benefit from a special needs plan.
Why A Special Needs Plan Is Needed
Although estate planning is important, this becomes a critical matter when it involves a loved one with a disability. Inheritances over $2,000 for special needs children actually go directly to the government, as it diminishes a child’s eligibility for government care and may not even contribute to the betterment of their life.
Some parents make the mistake of leaving the inheritance to family members or others who may potentially take care of their child should something happen to them in the future. The best solution to ensure the inheritance is used to improve the quality of life for your loved one with a disability is through a supplemental care trust, also known as a special needs trust.
