Strategy
Protecting Financial Security & Essential Benefits
At Voorn, Jaworski, & Preston, we can help you create a comprehensive strategy that protects both your loved one’s financial security and their eligibility for crucial government benefits like Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
At the heart of this planning are two powerful tools: Special Needs Trusts (SNTs), also known as Supplemental Needs Trusts, and ABLE accounts. These allow your loved one to maintain their assets or inheritances while qualifying for vital public benefits. The funds can enhance their quality of life by covering expenses beyond what government programs provide.
- Preserve eligibility for Medicaid and SSI benefits
- Protect assets and inheritances for your loved one's future
- Enhance quality of life beyond government program coverage
- Create a lasting foundation for financial security
