Understanding the administration of special needs trusts can make a world of difference for people with disabilities, providing them with financial stability and peace of mind. These trusts—like third-party and first-party trusts—come with specific rules that trustees must follow to ensure the beneficiary can keep accessing essential public benefits.
In this episode of Parenting Impossible, I talk about the importance of building a solid relationship between trustees and beneficiaries. Understanding the basics of trust administration is valuable for everyone—not just those currently acting as trustees. I also stress how crucial it is to use clear, precise language and to accurately identify beneficiaries in trust documents. These details are essential to ensuring that beneficiaries keep access to the public resources they rely on.
