FAQ

Anyone may contribute to a beneficiary's account, but only cash assets may be placed in an ABLE account. A special needs trust, on the other hand, may hold non-cash assets such as land or stock. ABLE account contributions are limited to a maximum annual contribution equal to the annual gift tax exclusion.

The statutory provision governing individual trusts is 42 U.S.C. § 1396p(d)(4)(A); thus individual self-settled special needs trusts are sometimes called, simply, ?d4A? trusts. ?Pooled? self-settled trusts are governed by Section 1396p(d)(4)(C), so those trusts are referred to as ?d4C? trusts.

Possible disadvantages of pooled trusts Also, assets placed in a pooled trust cannot always be simply withdrawn, so the initial decision is usually critical. While other trusts might be able to absorb an inheritance of land or jewelry, a pooled trust needs assets to be first sold for their proceeds.

The trustee works in very close contact with the beneficiary and/or their caregiver to manage the trust and its financial distributions to pay for these things. The main takeaway regarding distribution of SNT funds is this: The beneficiary never sees the money directly, but the money is used to pay for their needs.

Cons of Special Needs Trusts The trust must be maintained, and yearly management costs can be high. Depending on who manages the fund, there may be a minimum amount required to set up the trust. It may be financially difficult for the settlor to actually establish the trust, depending upon their circumstances.
