Program Summary

Special needs trusts, supplemental needs trusts, income only trusts, and other types of irrevocable trust planning can be used to provide for a family member or beneficiary who qualifies for certain government benefits, such as Medicaid or certain Veteran’s benefits. This type of planning can also be useful used proactively in basic estate plans in the event that a client’s current or future beneficiaries may become eligible for such benefits.
