Essential Components And Tools For Special Needs Planning In Texas

Here are the tools our special needs planning lawyer can help you structure:

  • Special Needs Trusts (SNTs): Allow assets to be held for the benefit of the person with special needs without counting toward SSI or Medicaid resource limits.
  • Texas ABLE accounts: Achieving a Better Life Experience Act savings accounts are tax-advantaged and allow up to $100,000 savings without losing eligibility for SSI and Medicaid benefits.
  • Specialized estate planning: Proper wills, durable powers of attorney and medical directives help ensure that assets are directed into a trust, protecting eligibility for government benefits.

Our special needs planning lawyer can help combine these tools to form a plan tailored to your loved one’s needs.

Preserving Government Benefits With Special Needs Planning

In Texas, SSI and Medicaid eligibility depend on strict income and asset limits. That is why tools like special needs trusts and ABLE accounts are so important. These accounts allow you to use funds for your life improvement without affecting the SSI and Medicaid government benefits eligibility. Our special needs planning attorney can help you plan effectively to ensure your loved one remains protected.
