State and Federal laws allow special needs beneficiaries to receive certain types of benefits from a carefully crafted trust without defeating eligibility for government benefits. So Special Needs Trust enables you to provide money or property for the benefit of someone with special needs without disqualifying them from receiving governmental benefits.
