Generally speaking, there are two kinds of special needs trusts. Those set up to handle money owned by the beneficiary (like a personal injury or medical malpractice settlement, for instance) are usually called first party special needs trusts.
Those set up by someone other than the beneficiary, to handle money not belonging to the beneficiary, are usually called third party special needs trusts. These are the kind of special needs trusts that a parent, grandparent or other relative sets up for a family member with disabilities and these types of trusts will be the focus of this article.
Building financial security is an important consideration for family members and friends of individuals with disabilities. Amy O'Hara, Esq., of Littman Krooks LLP, will discuss various aspects of special needs planning, including special needs trusts, the ABLE Act, coordination of government benefits, letters of intent, advance directives and guardianship.
This workshop will be held on
