Special Needs Planning
The estate-planning process can make provisions for family members with special needs. Typically, the special needs arise from a mental or physical disability that impairs their ability to take care of themselves after you are no longer able to provide and care for them.

A Special Needs Trust allows you to transfer assets into a trust for your heirs without interfering with their eligibility for government benefits, such as Medi-Cal, SSI or disability. These programs only provide for the bare necessities, such as housing, clothing and food - but giving assets directly to them might eliminate their benefits.

The Special Needs Trust must be carefully designed to preserve the public benefits by only supplementing those benefits, not replacing them. Additionally, the funds must be dispersed directly to the third parties who provide the supplemental goods and services to your loved one.

The Special Needs Trust can provide a variety of life-enhancing benefits without compromising their public benefits, like a personal attendant or escort to provide personalized care; coverage for out-of-pocket medical and dental expenses; supplemental education and tutoring; transportation and maintenance of vehicles; general entertainment, such as movies, sporting events, or home entertainment sets; participation in sporting events; special dietary requirements and much more.

"Why work with a LOCAL INSURANCE AGENT when you can get insurance online with a Google search? Because your neighborhood insurance specialist's customer service is based on you and your unique needs - not an algorithm. You'll be listened to, not asked to check a one-size-fits-all box. They care and want to do what's in your best interest - you can't say the same of an online bot!"
