SPECIAL NEEDS TRUST
Special Needs Trusts (SNTs) are designed to provide financial assistance and protection to individuals with disabilities or special needs. These trusts are specifically created to hold and manage assets for the benefit of someone with a disability or special needs, without affecting their eligibility for government benefits such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid. Overall, SNTs are an important tool for families and caregivers of individuals with disabilities or special needs, as they provide financial protection and security while also allowing the individual to continue receiving government benefits.
