While anyone can make a gift to an SDT, there are restrictions on the payments that can be made by the principal beneficiary (or their partner) into an SDT. Compensation payments made to the person with severe disabilities cannot be paid into an SDT.
What are the disadvantages of discretionary trusts? Discretionary trusts can be complex, requiring trustees to understand trust and tax laws. Not all potential beneficiaries are guaranteed to benefit, as trustees have discretion over who receives benefits and how much.
A Special Needs Trust (SNT) allows for a disabled person to maintain his or her eligibility for public assistance benefits, despite having assets that would otherwise make the person ineligible for those benefits. There are two types of SNTs: First Party and Third Party funded.
In particular, you may wish to consider a third-party special-needs trust, which can be established by anyone other than the beneficiary to help provide for someone with a disability. If you create the trust during your lifetime, it can receive gifts from any third party, such as a family member or friend.
Perhaps the biggest disadvantage of a special needs trust is the lack of control a beneficiary will have over the situation. The beneficiary does not have direct control of the funds and, instead, has to request money every time they wish to use them.
