Why Wills are Insufficient for Special Needs Children

Parents of children with special needs know that caregiving is a lifetime job. However, what happens once the parents are no longer able to provide that care? As most vulnerable dependents with disabilities will outlive their parents, planning for their estate needs and finances is of great importance. Proper planning ensures that the child will always have someone to advocate for and protect their legal rights.

Due to their special needs, children with disabilities who inherit money from their parents usually have their government benefits and medical coverage cut off, such as social security. Some parents will intentionally disinherit their child with special needs to prevent that. However, there is a better way, and we can help you preserve benefits for your special needs loved one.

Benefits of a Special Needs Trust

One alternative to the traditional will is called a Special Needs Trust (SNT). This type of trust keeps your assets available to the child without disqualifying them from other benefits. When properly drafted, an SNT specifies ways that your assets will be used to supplement government benefits, rather than replace them. The team at BRMM can help clients prepare an SNT that will ensure that funding is available to enhance the child’s life.

The SNT may be used for:

  • Extra medical care
  • Personal items such as TVs, radios, computers, vacations
  • Advocates and companions
  • Anything but food and shelter
