Special Needs Trusts

New Jersey Special Needs Trust Attorney

When preparing your estate planning documents, particular attention must be paid for individuals with special needs; whether your child, a sibling, or an individual over whom you have guardianship, the creation of a special needs trust can be an effective way in which to ensure that individual's financial stability in the future.

At the Law Offices of Lawrence M. Simon, we understand that estate planning may appear difficult and complex. However, it is necessary in order to protect your own assets, property, and the loved ones around you. We can explain the process, evaluate your needs and help you to a decision which best meets you goals. Our office serves clients from offices in New Jersey and New York for your convenience.

Sometimes called a supplemental needs trust, a special needs trust is created to protect assets of individuals with special needs while still allowing them to receive government benefits, such as Medicaid and SSI. We recommend that clients seek the preparation of a special needs trust, or special needs child trust fund, before lump sum assets are received, such as an inheritance or personal injury settlement.

• In addition to providing special needs trust creation to our own clientele, we are called upon by other law firms to handles these issues for them and their clients. Our firm is proud of this fact, as it speaks to the exceptional reputation we have garnered from peers throughout the legal community.
