Planning for Future Medical Needs: Establishing a Special Needs Trust
Lawyers at our Brooklyn firm believe that even beyond judgments and settlements, our personal approach doesn’t end when the case is over. We have a life planning session at the close of each case in order to discuss estate and health care planning options. If you have an injured spouse or child who will need care after you’re gone, creating a special needs trust is an effective method for protecting the award or settlement funds while helping them qualify for Medicaid without spending down their assets.

My husband often has back problems, and has never seeked treatment. We believe it’s due to a automobile accident in 2001. It sure would have been nice to know that we could have taken legal action, had we known where the problem originated from. It was weeks later after the accident when he realized maybe it was sustained from the impact of the crash. This information was very useful, thank you.
