This usually includes writing up a will, setting up a trust, selecting beneficiaries that will inherit the estate, and other estate planning tasks. After death, the decedents leave behind loved ones who are unable to care for themselves. This is where special needs planning comes in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Special needs trusts enable the family to care for another member with disability without leaving them out of government benefits. Planning for this requires that a disabled loved one must not receive cash gifts from family members as assistance since this will render them ineligible to receive benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rules involving special needs planning are simple and while it can be done without legal assistance, it is still recommended that families find an attorney to handle any legal issues that get in the way.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leaving property behind to a loved one with a disability can be complicated business since doing so can leave them out of social security benefits.
