Enriching Lives Through Security

Protecting Benefits

For those who have loved ones with special needs — either physical or mental — devising a plan customized to their financial needs while not jeopardizing their access to critical government benefits is complex. A Special Needs Trust can protect means-based government benefit eligibility while at the same time providing assets that will meet the supplemental needs of the person with a disability.
