Personalized advice to secure your legacy

Are you concerned about providing financial support for a loved one with disabilities without jeopardizing their eligibility for crucial government benefits?

Providing for a loved one with special needs can be challenging, especially when financial support might affect their eligibility for benefits like Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Without a carefully structured specialized trust, your efforts to secure their future could inadvertently cause them to lose access to essential services, creating financial insecurity and limiting their quality of life. This lack of planning can result in unnecessary stress and worry about their long-term well-being and care.

Our Special Needs Trusts offer a tailored solution to protect assets for your loved one without compromising their eligibility for government assistance. By creating a carefully crafted trust, we ensure that your loved one receives the financial support they need while maintaining access to vital benefits. Trust Guru’s expertise in special needs planning provides peace of mind, knowing that your loved one’s future is secure and their unique needs are met.
