Through a special needs trust, a parent, grandparent or guardian may provide funds for a disabled child without disrupting the child's eligibility for government aid. Special needs trusts may be established for a child with a physical or mental disability.

Do I Need a Special Needs Trust?
Adults with special needs who are receiving Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and other government benefits may benefit substantially from the creation of a special needs trust. Since these government programs have strict eligibility requirements, passing significant assets to your child during or after your passing could jeopardize his or her eligibility if not done properly.
Trusts can help someone with special needs retain eligibility for government benefits. In addition, a trust document can ensure that your child does not spend all of the funds in a short period of time, thus leaving him or her without the lifelong support you desire.
