There are several types of trusts. Some examples are:<\/p>\n

Special Needs Trust (SNT):<\/strong> Also called a Supplemental Needs Trust. One must never leave a lump sum inheritance to a recipient of Public Benefits such as SSI or Medicaid. They may lose the SSI and\/or Medicaid benefits and the amount inherited is subject to Medicaid Recovery. However, it is permissible to provide inheritance to an adult with special needs using a SNT.<\/p>\n

\"trust\"<\/p>\n

Testamentary Trust<\/strong>: A Trust created by your Will. A Testamentary Trust does not exist until you die, and your Will indicates the Trust to begin. It is possible to create an SNT this way.<\/p>\n

Pooled Trust:<\/strong> Helps people with disabilities qualify for programs such as SSI and Medicaid by placing their assets which are over the limit into a pooled trust.<\/p>\n

Irrevocable Trust<\/strong>: Cannot be changed, reversed, or recovered; final. Example, IrrevocableBurial Trusts are a useful tool for Medicaid Planning purposes.<\/p>\n

Other examples: Charitable Trust, Constructive Trust, Spendthrift Trust, Tax By-Pass Trust.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Revocable (Inter-Vivos) Living Trust: This is a common estate planning Trust<\/strong><\/p>\n

A living trust is created to provide you with the tools to manage your assets while you are alive and seamless distribution of your assets after you die. Along with Power of Attorney documents this is a good tool to use to avoid both Guardianship and Probate proceedings.<\/p>\n
