Setting Up a Special Needs Trust
While the state provides for special needs children in a variety of ways, you may wish to provide additional funds for a child. Oftentimes individuals think that leaving money to a trusted friend or guardian will ensure that a special needs child is taken care of well. However, that money is potentially subject to the individual's financial well-being. It could be taken in part of a divorce, or depleted if a person files for bankruptcy.
A special needs trust allows individuals to protect finances for their child. The trust essentially allows a parent or guardian to leave property or money so that he or she distributes money to the special needs child, or for his or her care. It ultimately ensures that the child has something to live on for his or her basic needs.
