Understanding The Importance Of Special Needs Planning
If you have a child or a loved one who is disabled or otherwise not able to care for themselves, a special needs estate plan must be done to ensure that they have proper care and do not lose essential government benefits.
The Law Office of Andrew M. Cohen PC does extensive work in the area of special needs planning. The creation of a supplemental needs trust is the most important tool in formulating a plan to care for an individual with special needs and/or under a disability. The assets that fund the trust provide a comfortable and secure financial future for a person with a disability without disqualifying them from means-based benefits such as SSI and Medicaid. Let the Law Office of Andrew M. Cohen PC create a special plan for the special individual in your life.
In addition to creating a supplemental needs trust for estate plans, we also regularly create self-settled or first party special needs trusts to shelter the assets of a disabled individual (typically from a lawsuit or unanticipated inheritance) and allow a disabled individual to gain/maintain eligibility for Medicaid.
