Every Special Needs Trust is a unique document individually crafted for the benefit of the disabled beneficiary. In order to create a Special Needs Trust, the beneficiary must have a bona fide disability and be under the age of 65.

As Grantor of the Trust you have the critically important job of assisting your Attorney in drafting the document. Every Special Needs Trust must have an individualized life care plan within it that focuses expressly on the special needs of the individual with a disability.

Although your Attorney is knowledgeable about disabilities, their causes, and their effects, only you as the Grantor are knowledgeable about the beneficiary, his likes, dislikes, daily habits, and specific needs. The more information you can provide to your Attorney about the disabled beneficiary, the more complete and more effective the Trust document will be.

You will be asked to provide this information as part of your consultation. Information such as personal habits, favorite foods, the ability to handle money, and the need for adaptive equipment may seem simple enough, but it all is a vital part of the heart of a Special Needs Trust.

Other information, such as a general diagnosis, Social Security Number, nicknames, and funding sources and amounts help not only to distinguish your Trust, but are essential to providing adequate direction to your chosen Trustee in managing the Trust.

There may also be other supplemental documents that will be prepared as part of your service. Again, the more thorough you are in sketching a life portrait of the individual the better the end result.

It is up to you as the Grantor of the Trust to decide what will become of the Trust avails when the disabled beneficiary has reached the end of his or her life. Thus, the considerations of who will be Trustee and who will be the Remaindermen are of paramount importance, as remote as the issue may seem today.

Don't be afraid to rely on your Attorney's expertise in making such decisions. Although the final decision is always yours, your Attorney has had years of experience in working with families both like and unlike yours in creating Estate Planning documents. Your Attorney has created literally thousands of different kinds of documents over the course of his years of practice. As a result he may have inventive suggestions or creative answers to vexing issues. He can also tell you what is possible and what is not possible to do within the four corners of your Trust and other documents. Your Attorney will assist you with such mundane but necessary matters as executing the document and obtaining a tax I.D. Although this is all new to you this is your Attorney's workaday world. Feel free to ask questions.

Since 1994, our law firm has worked with more than a thousand client families to craft a vast variety of specialized Estate Plans and Special Needs Trusts. Since we make certain that we are constantly aware of any substantive changes to the law, our Trusts and other documents are rarely challenged and have always met the stringent requirements imposed upon them by Social Security Administration representatives and other individuals in authority. We look forward to serving you with confidence.

We believe that families who care should be able to receive the services they need. The Trusts and other documents and services we provide are within the reasonable means of you, our client.

Although this may all seem overwhelming, it is really a form of artistry---and you, along with your Attorney, are the artist. Once created, a Special Needs Trust is a unique tool and gift for the betterment of the life of the disabled beneficiary---Throughout his entire life...

We look forward to working with you!
