Just like working with tools in construction, it is important to use the right tool for the right job.  The purpose of this presentation is to provide in-depth information on the special needs trust, which can be the most powerful tool in the belt. There are two basic types of special needs trusts, the first party instrument and the third-party instrument. Each has a unique purpose, unique features and different tax treatment.
