Special Needs Trusts

The Special Needs Trust or Supplemental Needs Trust (“SNT”) provides a unique opportunity to maximize the quality of life for a child with a disability.  

Elder Law

For those individuals facing long term care in a nursing home, Elder Law Attorneys in California can preserve assets for a well spouse so that he or she does not become impoverished financially. 

​

​Often transferring the family home to a Living Trust can protect that asset from a subsequent Medi-Cal estate claim. The goal is to qualify the incapacitated spouse for Medi-Cal while preserving family assets.
