Special Needs Planning and Special Needs Trusts

Pittsburgh Special Needs Planning and Special Needs Trust Attorney

Are you the parents, grandparents or other family member of a special needs child or adult? If so, there are a variety of special needs planning tools that may interest you. One such tool is a special needs trust, which is a way for your special needs person to inherit money or obtain a settlement of a lawsuit without compromising his or her eligibility for governmental benefits.

Would you like to speak with a lawyer regarding a special needs trust for the special needs individual in your life? Please contact Sikov and Love, P.A. to arrange your consultation. Since our founding in 1952, we have set a standard for quality legal services.

Our firm can help you plan for the special needs person in your life. It is possible for a special needs person to maintain governmental benefits while receiving funds from a special needs trust.

Keep Government Benefits

Our firm can craft a special needs trust that will be designed to fit your family's unique situation and goals. A special needs trust is a great way for you to provide for the special needs person in your life in response to various circumstances.

Perhaps your child is turning 18 and you would like to establish a special needs trust so that your child does not lose eligibility for government benefits. Perhaps your child has obtained a personal injury settlement, or inherited money. We can help disabled individuals establish trusts that do not compromise government benefits, such as Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income.

Pooled Trusts

Pooled special needs trusts are administered by third party nonprofit organizations, and enable persons with special needs to have more financial freedom and to have an organization to turn to for assistance when family may not be available.
