Caring for a loved one with a disability often means balancing long-term financial support with continued access to essential public benefits. Special Needs Trusts allow families to do both when they are administered thoughtfully and correctly. At MWC Legal Group, we help trustees and families manage Special Needs Trusts with care, clarity, and a deep understanding of what matters most.
We understand that Special Needs Trust administration is not just about rules and paperwork. It is about people. Our team takes the time to understand each family’s goals, the beneficiary’s needs, and the intent behind the trust, providing practical advice and responsive support at every stage.
A Special Needs Trust is intended to provide financial support without disrupting eligibility for public benefits such as Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). When properly administered, trust assets can be used to enhance comfort, independence, and quality of life while preserving access to vital programs.
Our role is to help ensure the trust is used as intended, with careful attention to benefit rules, trustee responsibilities, and the long-term needs of the beneficiary.
Administering a Special Needs Trust comes with unique responsibilities and ongoing compliance concerns. Trustees must make thoughtful decisions about distributions, reporting, and record-keeping, often while navigating complex family dynamics.
MWC Legal Group provides steady guidance throughout the administration process, helping trustees avoid common pitfalls and make informed decisions with confidence.
