Michigan Special Needs Trust Attorney - Lawyer for Disabled Clients

In order to qualify for certain benefits – Supplemental Security Income, Social Security Disability Insurance, Medicaid - the disabled client can only own a limited amount of assets. It may be possible, however, to place some assets in a special needs trust and still qualify for these benefits.

At the Nawrocki Center for Elder and Family Law, we understand the challenges of being disabled and needing to rely on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Medicare or Medicaid. Those safety nets are there for people who need them.

What if you have some money – not enough to support yourself, but too much to qualify for benefits? Your Michigan special needs trust attorney can establish a trust that sets aside funds that can be used to ensure a quality of life that all deserve.

While the monthly benefits may cover basic expenses, the special needs trust can fund additional needs – an aide or companion, a vehicle, a home, a vacation, a new wheelchair, or handicap-accessible computer. The beneficiary cannot access the funds directly, but they are available for needs that fit the definitions in the trust. The disabled person will have asset protection for special needs, but still qualify for benefits.

If you have questions about special needs trusts and how our law firm can serve you and your family, or if you would like to schedule a consultation to discuss our services, please contact the Nawrocki Center for Elder and Family Law. From our office in Brighton, Michigan, we serve clients in Livingston County, Washtenaw County, Oakland County, and Genesee County.

We accept Visa and MasterCard.
