Our attorneys created a multi-million dollar Supplemental Needs Trust for a severely disabled young adult and their family. This allowed the family to accept a substantial payout from a medical malpractice lawsuit related to the disability, without jeopardizing the disabled individual’s Medicaid eligibility. This has removed the stress of finding and funding future medical care.
The trust allows the family to tap into the new-found wealth and fund a lifestyle substantially above the bare-minimum afforded by state-sponsored care. For example, the family has used the funds to make their home handicap-accessible, and plan enriching vacations and experiences for the disabled individual.
