Special needs trusts are legal instruments designed to provide for individuals with disabilities or special needs while preserving their eligibility for government benefits such as Medicaid. If your elder care plan involves caring for a loved one with special needs, our elder law attorneys can guide you through establishing and managing a special needs trust, ensuring your loved one’s financial and medical needs are protected.
