The family can put money, property, and other assets into the Trust instead of leaving it to the incapacitated individual themselves. The incapacitated individual is designated as a beneficiary of the Trust and a Trustee is appointed to spend the money in the Trust on the behalf of your loved one. The funds in the Trust can be used to cover costs above and beyond the governmental benefits your loved one is receiving such as vacation, travel expenses, recreational activities, medical and dental expenses that would have to be paid out of pocket, etc. Visit Serenitas Special Needs Planning or give a call at: (818) 231-6759.

A Special Needs Trust gives you the ability to coordinate public benefits your child receives from the government with private resources. It is a marriage between public and private funding for your child in the event you are not longer able to provide care for your child. Careful planning for a Special Needs Trust can allow your disabled child to become and remain eligible for need-based government benefits, such as Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income, while permitting the use of personal family resources that can be used for nonbasic needs and quality of life extras (vacations, sporting events, camp, travel expenses, games/toys, entertainment, grooming supplies, uninsured medical or dental services etc).

If you have a child with special needs then your role as a parent will   be decidedly more challenging that you might have expected. There are   several illnesses that come under the banner of special needs. These can  be related to learning, behavior, development, mental health or medical issues. Whatever the category, they all require greater support,  patience and application than might have otherwise been necessary. There is a tendency for parents to feel isolated and alone, however, there are resources available to provide the information and support needed.

They are no different than any other parents on the face of the earth. All parents feel that they are being tested. This is simply part of the world of   parenthood.

Disability benefits are monthly payments to those with low income and resources who are 65 or older, blind, or disabled. Children younger than 18 may be eligible if they meet Social Security's definition of disability for children, and if they have low income that makes them eligible. SSI payments are different from state to state. If you have any questions about Social Security benefits, payments, or any other questions.
