Caring for a loved one with special needs comes with unique challenges, especially when it comes to financial planning. Establishing a Special Needs Trust (SNT) can be a crucial step in ensuring the well-being and financial security of your loved one. At Falco & Associates, P.C., we understand the intricacies of Special Needs Trusts and are dedicated to assisting families in Massachusetts in creating these invaluable instruments.
Understanding Special Needs Trusts
A Special Needs Trust is a legal arrangement designed to provide for the financial needs of an individual with disabilities while preserving their eligibility for government benefits such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid. These trusts are specifically tailored to enhance the quality of life for individuals with special needs by supplementing the government benefits they receive.
The Importance of SNTs in Massachusetts
Massachusetts residents with special needs often rely on government assistance programs for essential services and healthcare. However, eligibility for these programs typically has strict income and asset limitations. Without proper planning, receiving an inheritance or financial gift could jeopardize these benefits.
