Supplemental Needs Trust
Enhancing Quality of Life
This category overlaps closely with Special Needs Trust planning but emphasizes enrichment, dignity, and additional support. This trust is about creating a fuller life.
A Supplemental Needs Trust is designed to provide resources and support to a person with disabilities while preserving eligibility for public assistance programs. The trust supplements — rather than replaces — government benefits.
- improve quality of life
- provide experiences and opportunities
- support independence
- fund needs not covered by public programs
“Government benefits cover everything.”
In reality, many families use Supplemental Needs Trusts because public benefits often provide only basic support. The trust may help provide comfort, enrichment, and flexibility beyond minimum care.
- Families caring for disabled loved ones
- Aging caregivers
- Grandparents planning inheritances
- Families seeking long-term care continuity
This trust is not just about survival. It’s about dignity, experience, and quality of life.
Schedule a Complimentary 30-Minute Consultation
At Hurwitz.Law, we believe that thoughtful planning begins with a meaningful conversation.
We offer a private, 30-minute consultation—by phone or Zoom—for individuals and families considering estate planning, elder law, or trust administration services. This conversation allows us to understand your goals, answer your questions, and help determine whether our firm is the right fit for your needs.
Our firm is intentionally boutique. We work with a limited number of clients so that we can provide a high level of personal attention and care. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll do our best to point you in the right direction.
This consultation is not a sales pitch. It’s a conversation rooted in clarity, respect, and the belief that your time—and your legacy—deserve both.
