Special Needs Trusts Attorneys in Phoenix

Serving Phoenix, Sun City and Sun City West, Arizona, and Apollo Beach, Florida

While you are alive and able to competently manage your affairs, you are able to meet the needs of children, and family members and friends who have special needs. But what happens when you pass away or are no longer able to effectively provide care and resources for special needs individuals?

At the Phoenix law firm of Gorman & Jones, PLC we practice estate planning law, probate law and probate litigation law exclusively, and are fully familiar and experienced in all aspects of trust law, including preparing special needs trusts. We have created hundreds of discretionary and nondiscretionary trusts for families in Arizona and Florida.

Do you need to establish a special needs trust for a family member, or need legal assistance in managing a special needs trust? Call 877.237.0983.

When created properly, special needs trusts can ensure that, regardless of what happens to you:

• Special needs individuals continue to receive financial assistance
• Care professionals will receive directives regarding future care
• Special needs individuals will receive their designated inheritance
• Special needs individuals will continue to qualify for government benefits regardless of what they receive from the trust, and when

We can also create a Miller Trust. Miller Trusts are useful in protecting the assets of the trust from Medicaid spend downs in the event that you, as the trust creator, eventually enter a nursing home. In Florida, Qualified Income Trusts serve the same purpose. Miller Trusts can also be used to reduce the stated income of the trust's recipient, allowing the recipient to remain eligible for government benefits.
