Protect Benefits While Providing More

When you're planning for a loved one with disabilities, you need a legal tool that preserves their benefits while improving their quality of life. You might be a parent worried about your child's long-term care after you're gone, or a family member managing a settlement or inheritance that could disqualify someone from assistance programs. The sound of a caseworker explaining benefit loss or the sight of a denial letter can turn hope into fear, especially in Minneapolis where assistance programs follow strict asset and income rules. Everhart Law Office LTD. creates trusts to protect benefits for individuals with disabilities while preserving eligibility for assistance.

The firm guides families through Minnesota rules and trustee requirements, ensuring trust language meets benefit-program standards and addresses common concerns about future guardianship and decision-making. You'll receive guidance on trustee duties, allowable expenditures, and how to fund the trust without jeopardizing eligibility. Minneapolis parents often rely on this service to plan for long-term care and financial stability of loved ones, ensuring resources are available without triggering benefit loss.

The trust creation process begins with a detailed assessment of your loved one's current benefits, medical needs, living situation, and long-term goals. The firm explains the difference between first-party and third-party trusts, helps you choose the right structure for your family's situation, and drafts trust language that complies with Social Security Administration and Minnesota Department of Human Services requirements.

You'll work closely with the firm to select a trustee—whether a family member, professional fiduciary, or corporate trustee—and define trustee duties, spending guidelines, and reporting obligations. Everhart Law Office LTD. provides guidance for trustee duties, including permissible distributions, prohibited expenses, and documentation practices that protect the trust's tax-exempt status and the beneficiary's eligibility.

The firm encourages early creation to avoid benefit loss, particularly when a settlement, inheritance, or other windfall is anticipated. For Blaine families, early planning means your loved one can receive gifts, inheritances, or personal injury awards without jeopardizing the public assistance that covers housing, healthcare, and daily support.
