Fredrick P. Niemann of Hanlon Niemann & Wright, located at 3499 Route 9 North, Suite 1F in Freehold, NJ 07728, specializes in creating Special Needs Trusts for minor and adult disabled persons. The firm explains that disabilities can be physical, intellectual, and psychological, making life harder, more isolated, and filled with anxiety and uncertainty, especially as caretakers age or decline in health. Their special needs trusts help protect existing and future resources for individuals eligible for government benefit programs like SSI, Medicaid, DDD, PPP, Social Security Disability, and others. The firm distinguishes between two types of special needs trusts: Third Party Trusts established by someone other than the disabled person with funds not owned by the beneficiary, and First Person Trusts established with the disabled individual’s own funds. They explain that Third Party Trusts avoid government payback provisions upon the beneficiary’s death, while First Person Trusts require reimbursing the state for benefits provided. The firm also offers guidance on Pooled Trusts for situations without suitable trustees.
