California Special Needs Trusts: There are several goals that can be accomplished with a Special Needs Trust. 1) Providing for a person to care for the needs of the disabled person; 2) Insuring that the disabled individual will qualify for SSI, and Medi-Cal, should the need arise, and still be able to inherit assets or use litigation proceeds; 3) Providing for the extras that the government does not otherwise provide for the disabled person. If you have concerns about a disabled person's future, consult us, regarding creation and implementation of a California Special Needs Trust.
