Description

The Family Special-Needs Trust form is designed specifically for California residents to create an irrevocable trust that maintains financial support for individuals with special needs without jeopardizing their eligibility for public assistance programs. Key features include provisions that allow for the disbursement of funds for a beneficiary's special needs, such as educational resources and recreational activities, while explicitly excluding support for basic needs like food and shelter. The trust ensures the continuation of benefits from programs like Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid. Users need to fill in personal details for the Grantor and Trustee, and designate trust properties in Schedule A. Legal professionals, including attorneys, paralegals, and associates, will find value in understanding how to structure the trust to comply with legal requirements and maximize benefits for the beneficiary. The trust's managerial provisions empower the Trustee to use their discretion effectively, while specific provisions prevent the trust from interfering with public aid eligibility. This form serves as a vital tool for those wanting to ensure that individuals with disabilities receive enhanced financial support throughout their lives, providing peace of mind to both Grantors and beneficiaries.
