Frequently Asked Questions About First-Party Special Needs Trusts
What Is a First-Party Special Needs Trust?
A first-party Special Needs Trust is a legal arrangement designed for individuals with disabilities. It allows them to protect assets—such as inheritances or personal injury settlements—without losing eligibility for government benefits like Medicaid or SSI.
Who Can Set Up a First-Party Special Needs Trust?
This type of trust can only be established by the individual with the disability, their parent, grandparent, legal guardian, or a court. If you’re unsure who can set it up for you, we’re happy to guide you through the process.
How Do Assets in the Trust Get Used?
Funds in the trust can be used for a wide range of expenses, including housing, education, medical care, and other items that improve quality of life. However, they must be spent in ways that comply with Medicaid and SSI rules.
Will Setting Up This Trust Impact My Benefits?
No. A properly established first-party Special Needs Trust allows you to retain access to essential benefits like Medicaid and SSI while safeguarding your financial resources.
What Happens to the Trust After I Pass Away?
Federal law requires that any remaining funds in the trust be used to reimburse Medicaid for benefits provided during your lifetime. We’ll explain this process in detail and help you plan accordingly.
