Special Needs TrustsSpecial Needs Trusts

"Leave money to a loved one with a disability -- without losing benefits. Use a special needs trust to provide financial security for your child (or anyone) with a disability, without jeopardizing important government benefits. Funds in a special needs trust, when used correctly, do not count against eligibility for benefits and can be spent to improve the quality of your child's life. This book provides everything you need to know about special needs trusts -- whether you make one yourself with this book or have an attorney draft one for you. The author explains how special needs trusts work, the trustee's role, ways to pass important information to successor trustees, and the pros and cons of joining pooled trusts."--back cover
