Future Planning for Special Needs | Autism Advocacy & Law Center ...

Join us for a free Web workshop on July 31st at noon.

Learn how a supplemental needs trust and specialized estate planning can help you ensure that your child?s guardian will have the financial resources to take care of your child. Learn why failing to plan for the future can disrupt just about every aspect of your child?s life. This information concerns kids on the spectrum regardless of age.

Government benefits and programs are predicated on absolute poverty. What does this mean? That in order to qualify for assistance for items such as shelter, food, health care, vocational supports and residential supports, an individual who has a disability cannot have assets worth more than $2,000. If you want your child to have resources to pay for items such as clothing, let alone educational or entertainment expenses, then you should consider establishing a supplemental needs trust.

Many parents choose to establish a supplemental needs trust and fund it with life insurance proceeds or assets such as a retirement account that pass into the supplemental needs trust after the parents have passed away. This gives parents peace of mind because they know that their child will have resources that will enhance his or her quality of life. Resources held in a supplemental needs trust can be used for items that are not otherwise covered by programs like social security and Medical Assistance ? such as clothing! That?s right, social security used to cover food, shelter and clothing ? but now it only covers food and shelter.?If you want your child to have financial resources for items such as clothing, then a supplemental needs trust should be the cornerstone of your estate plan.

The Autism Advocacy & Law Center, LLC specializes in supplemental needs trusts and estate planning for families affected by autism and other disabilities.
