In this article, our Schaumburg special needs attorneys discuss how Special Needs Trusts are used in planning for the care of individuals with special needs. Typically, if someone has a disability in Schaumburg, they are entitled to Supplemental Security Income if they have less than $2,000 in assets and earn under the maximum amount as described by SSI guidelines. With the help of our Illinois special needs attorneys, you can create a Special Needs Trust to ensure that your loved one with a disability can gain assets and income without reduction of benefits.
