Understanding Special Disability Trusts

from Canny Chattables Hosted by Canny Group

There are lots of specialised areas when it comes to practising the Law; Wills and Estates, Litigation, Contracts and Employment - the list goes on! Something that sets our legal team apart from the rest is the fact that our Senior Lawyer, Karlene Wightman specialises in Special Disability Trusts. Organising a time to see a lawyer to get your life plan down on paper can be a little daunting, to say the least, but when there is someone with a disability involved, it is important to understand that that process changes and you need a specialist lawyer. In this episode, we cover off in "layman's terms" what a Special Disability Trust (actually) is and how you start the process of finding out if you or your loved one would qualify and/or be eligible for a Special Disability Trust. We touch on what can and can't go into this trust as well as the current restrictions, what the other options are if you don't qualify and what is the likelihood of a Special Disability Trust being contested.
