Special Needs Trusts

Provide For The Care Of A Special Person After You’re Gone

Many Americans have at least one member of their family impacted by a physical, mental or emotional disability. While the government offers various programs to ensure that vulnerable children or adults have their basic needs met, the funding available is often inadequate. A special needs trust may be the best option for a family to supplement benefits for a vulnerable person.

Your loved one will receive the benefit of your success both while you are living and after you have passed away, and you will know that you need never worry about his or her future care when you’re gone.

We set up and administer trusts for families throughout the northern New Jersey region. Call us toll free at 973-383-2700 to set up a consultation.
