Individuals who are disabled and their families often are receiving governmental help in the form of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Title 19/Medicaid, or nursing home benefits. In cases of permanent disability, benefits will continue indefinitely. A problem may arise when a parent leaves that disabled child a share of an estate and the disabled child loses access to the public assistance and medical assistance programs, despite a critical need.

A special needs trust allows a parent or guardian to store funds that will be available to the child in a way that will not discontinue the government assistance. Assets are protected in a trust to ensure that governmental benefits will not be discontinued.

A Wisconsin special needs trust attorney at our firm can assist you in setting up a trust to supplement, and not replace, government help.
