Supplemental Needs Trusts
A Supplemental Needs Trust (SNT) is a powerful tool that allows you to set aside funds for your loved one’s care without jeopardizing their access to Medicaid, SSI, or other essential government programs. We work closely with families to establish SNTs that are specifically designed to enhance the quality of life for individuals with special needs while preserving their eligibility for crucial benefits.
Guardianship and Conservatorship
When an individual with special needs cannot make decisions independently, establishing a guardianship or conservatorship may be necessary. These legal arrangements ensure that a trusted family member or caregiver can make important decisions regarding your loved one’s health, financial matters, and overall well-being. At Cara Law, we guide you through this legal process, ensuring that your loved one’s rights and best interests are always prioritized.
Comprehensive Estate Planning
In addition to creating a Supplemental Needs Trust, it’s vital to consider other estate planning tools, such as wills, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives. These documents work together to ensure that your loved one is well cared for throughout their life. Our attorneys at Cara Law will develop a comprehensive estate plan tailored to your family’s unique needs, giving you confidence that your loved one’s future is secure.
