Litigation Special Needs Trust Attorneys, Sirkin & Sirkin advise clients and personal injury attorneys on protecting public benefits for disabled adults and minors when obtaining litigation proceeds creates the risk of loss of public benefits such as Medi-Cal and SSI.
Unlike other types of special needs trust, litigation special needs trusts are made specifically for litigation proceeds. The court normally determines the reasonableness of the pending settlement and directs parties to disburse the proceeds to a special needs trust for the benefit of the disabled person or minor.

Common cases where litigation proceeds may be ordered to a special needs trust:
1. Personal Injury actions.
2. Worker's Compensation settlements and awards.
3. Trust/Probate Litigation cases.
4. Conservatorships involving injury to the Conservatee.
