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 do not count against eligibility for benefits and can be used to improve the quality of your child’s life.

  • how special needs trusts work
  • the trustee’s role
  • ways to pass important information to successor trustees
  • the pros and cons of joining a pooled trust.
