Assets from parents, grandparents or from the proceeds of a legal settlement can be set aside for the benefit of a disabled individual by using a Supplemental Needs Trust or a Special Needs Trust (SNT). 

SNTs present an important planning option for the disabled. SNTs are an excellent way to provide necessities, comforts and luxuries to the disabled. Families of the disabled should consider use of the SNT as a integral part of their estate planning.

At Enea, Scanlan & Sirignano, our caring and experienced attorneys work with disabled individuals and their families to create a SNT tailored to the special needs of each family situation.
