A self-funded Special Needs Trust must be created by a parent, grandparent, legal guardian or court to receive and hold assets (such as inheritance, lawsuit settlement, gifts) that belonged to the person with the disability, who is the beneficiary of the trust.
Compensation Unless the trust agreement states otherwise, trustees are usually entitled to compensation for their services. Compensation is usually set forth in state law. If a corporate trustee is serving, it usually receives a fixed amount, based upon the value of the trust estate.
Special needs trusts are a useful tool and a long-term plan for savings; however, they are not always a good fit for everyone. Alternatives to opening a trust include spending down the funds, prepayment of living expenses and ABLE accounts.
What You Need to Get Started: Choose an experienced attorney to prepare the Special Needs trust document. Select a Trustee to manage the investments of the trust, administration, monitor benefits and to receive and monitor distribution requests from the trust. Complete a Letter of Intent.
In the event of a death within a pooled special needs trust, any monies left in the account are used to help cover the cost of any administrative fees for the pooled trust. In essence, the money will help the trust keep going, so all other beneficiaries can still receive their benefits.
