What Is A Special Needs Trust?

If you have a loved one with special needs and you are their primary source of support, it’s completely natural to feel a deep sense of concern about how they will be cared for in the future, especially when you might no longer be able to assist them. The thought of their well-being can weigh heavily on your heart. A special needs trust is an invaluable tool that allows you to set aside funds specifically for their future care while simultaneously protecting their eligibility for crucial government benefits that they may rely on. Regardless of whether your loved one is living with a lifelong disability, dementia, or another condition that significantly limits their ability to fully support themselves, establishing a special needs trust ensures that their needs are met adequately and without leaving anything to chance, allowing you to rest assured that they will be taken care of.

What Are the Benefits of a Special Needs Trust?

Many individuals with disabilities qualify for a range of important government benefits designed to support their unique needs and enhance their quality of life. However, receiving an inheritance directly—such as through a will—can unintentionally jeopardize their eligibility for that assistance, potentially leaving them in a precarious financial situation. A special needs trust serves as a valuable solution, allowing your loved one to continue receiving these vital benefits while also providing a financial safety net for additional support, care, and various quality-of-life needs that may arise. This type of trust not only addresses immediate concerns but also prepares for future scenarios, such as the possibility that your family member may require a guardian after your passing. It ensures continuity and stability in their care, safeguarding their well-being in times of transition.


Setting up a special needs trust is one of the most thoughtful and proactive ways to protect your loved one’s future and ensure that their needs are met even in your absence. Attorney John A. Russo focuses on creating trusts that are specifically tailored to fit their individual needs and your long-term wishes, providing guidance through the process. Contact The Law Office of John A.
