Learn all about the 3 types of Special Needs Trusts

A “Supplemental Needs Trust” or “Special Needs Trust” (SNT) is a trust created for the sole benefit of a disabled person before the age of 65.  

Its purpose is to allow beneficiaries to supplement their income without affecting their eligibility to receive government benefits such as  Medicaid and/or Supplementary Social Security (SSI).   

There are 3 ways you can fund this SNT which turns it into one of these: 

  • First Party  
  • Third Party  
  • Pooled  

Which type is best depends on each indivudual’s  situation. If you want to learn what all these types are about and which could fit your situation better make sure to sign up to the webinar.
