Understanding Special Needs Estate Planning In Nevada

When it comes to special needs estate planning, it is important to look beyond simple asset distribution. You also have to consider how an inheritance might impact your loved one’s eligibility for essential programs like SSI or Medicaid. Without a proper plan, a direct gift could accidentally disqualify them from these services. At Goldsmith & Guymon P.C., our Las Vegas special needs planning attorneys focus on preserving disability benefits. We want your gift to enhance their life rather than complicate it.

Solutions For Loved Ones With Special Needs

Every family has different goals, but there are a variety of legal tools that can provide a safety net for your beneficiary. Based on your specific situation, we may recommend:

  • Third-party special needs trusts: You can establish and fund these trusts to provide for a loved one without counting against their asset limits for government aid.
  • First-party trusts: These allow an individual with a disability to hold their own assets while maintaining eligibility for public assistance.
  • Pooled trusts: These involve multiple beneficiaries whose assets are managed together by a nonprofit organization for investment purposes.
  • Letters of intent: This document provides future caregivers with vital information about your loved one’s daily routines, medical history, and personal preferences.

Our team focuses on supplemental needs planning to ensure your loved one enjoys a high quality of life. We believe that boutique representation means giving your family the individual attention this process requires.

How Can A Lawyer Help With Special Needs Planning?

We manage the complexities of special-needs trust creation to ensure every document complies with strict federal and state regulations. By handling the technical details of disability planning, we allow you to focus on your family.
