This is a highly complicated area of the law. Our firm's Las Vegas estate planning attorneys offer more than 30 years of experience helping clients establish first-party and third-party special needs trusts. We will apply our years of experience and legal skills to develop special needs trusts based on the best interests for you or your loved one.

A special needs trust can be established to protect the assets set aside for individuals with a disability. To qualify, individuals must be developmentally disabled or have a mental or physical impairment. At the Law Firm of Jeffrey Burr, our firm's estate planning attorneys have extensive experience working with clients to establish two types of special needs trusts:

• First-party special needs trusts — Our legal team represents disabled individuals looking to set up an irrevocable trust with their own assets. This type of special needs trust is often established with money from an inheritance, a gift, or a personal injury settlement. We offer a strong background developing first-party special needs trusts for disabled individuals under 65.
• Third-party special needs trusts — At the Law Firm of Jeffrey Burr, we have experience establishing irrevocable and revocable trusts for individuals with special needs. Typically, third-party special needs trusts are funded by parents or relatives with loved ones who have special needs. This type of trust has no age restrictions and is designed to enrich the beneficiary's life, while preserving their access to benefits.

Our legal team is committed to helping clients qualify for Medicaid benefits. Unlike Medicare, Medicaid is designed to provide individuals with long-term healthcare care benefits. Only individuals with limited income and assets can qualify for Medicaid. People in need of long-term healthcare support are known to spend down their assets in order to qualify for Medicaid. At the Law Firm of Jeffrey Burr, we develop special needs trusts to help individuals avoid impoverishment through transferring assets or setting aside assets that are exempt from Medicaid requirements.
