"I had a great experience setting up my trust with Chris. He explained everything clearly and never made me feel rushed. I felt more like I was dealing with my family than with my lawyer. He has been very easy to work with and I couldn’t be more happier that I selected him. Thank you for being so patient and understanding. You made this experience very easy for me and I respect that you are so passionate about what you do and who you help. I feel secure knowing your handling my estate planning and can’t thank you enough."

A Michigan Special Needs Trust Attorney Can Help You Secure Your Family's Future

Many families with a special needs loved one want to leave behind money and assets to take care of their disabled family member after they are no longer here to take care of them themselves.

It’s very common for a special needs family member to qualify for government benefits like SSI, Medicaid, subsidized housing, and vocational rehab.

But the government puts strict limitations on eligibility for these programs based on income and financial resources.

This means that improperly leaving behind an inheritance or large sum of money for your special needs loved one can actually hurt their ability to continue receiving their much-needed government benefits.

Fortunately, our Special Needs Trust Attorneys can help you draft a Special Needs Trust so that you can provide a comfortable life for your loved one without hurting their benefits.

Benefits of Making a Special Needs Trust

Get peace of mind that your loved one will be taken care of after you’re gone

Supplement your disabled family member’s government assistance to provide care and services that their benefits do not cover so they can live comfortably

Protect your loved one from losing their government benefits like Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Medicaid, subsidized housing, and vocational rehab

Appoint someone you trust to manage the finances on behalf of your disabled family member to make sure they are taken care of according to your wishes

Special Needs Trust Attorney Faqs

What does a Special Needs Trust Attorney do?

A Special Needs Trust Attorney guides families through creating and managing a trust designed to benefit a loved one with disabilities, while preserving eligibility for government benefits.

Why should I work with a Special Needs Trust Attorney instead of doing it myself?

Because improper trust setup can jeopardize benefits, a Special Needs Trust Attorney ensures the trust is structured correctly, meets legal requirements, and protects your loved one’s government benefits.

When is it time to hire a Special Needs Trust Attorney?

It’s time to hire a Special Needs Trust Attorney when you have a loved one with disabilities, you plan to leave assets or inheritance for them, or you want to safeguard their eligibility for SSI, Medicaid or subsidized housing.

How much does a “special needs trust attorney near me” cost?

Costs vary, but a reputable special needs trust attorney near me should provide a clear fee structure, often offering flat‑fee packages or transparent pricing so you know what to expect.

What questions should I ask a “special needs trust attorney near me” during a consultation?

You should ask: “Have you drafted special needs trusts before?”, “How do you protect government benefits?”, “Will you supervise the investments?”, “What is the cost?”, and “Do you offer ongoing guidance?”
