Paperback. When a parent's standard will becomes a danger to the child it was meant to protect A direct inheritance can push a disabled beneficiary above the $2,000 asset limit that governs Supplemental Security Income. When that limit is breached, SSI stops, and in most states, Medicaid stops with it, often within the same month. This is not a rare complication. It is what happens by default when the specific legal structures required for a disabled beneficiary are not in place. For parents who have spent years building a support system around a child with a lifelong disability, standard estate planning is not a solution. It is a risk. What this book helps you do This guide walks parents, legal guardians, and trustees step by step through the process of establishing, funding, and administering a Third-Party Special Needs Trust alongside an ABLE account. You will learn how the $2,000 SSI resource limit works, why standard wills and beneficiary designations can inadvertently destroy government benefits, and how a properly structured trust protects assets without removing a beneficiary's eligibility for SSI and Medicaid. The book covers the 2026 ABLE Account expansion that raised the disability onset eligibility age from 26 to 46, updated contribution limits, the ABLE-to-Work provision, and how to coordinate the ABLE account and the Special Needs Trust as a unified planning system rather than competing alternatives. What makes this guide different This is the only consumer-facing reference updated through 2026 that provides a complete trustee operations manual, a beneficiary designation audit covering every asset class that passes outside a will, and the SNT and ABLE account coordination framework in a single, sequenced guide. It includes a full Letter of Intent template, a plain-language family communication document for relatives whose own estate plans could inadvertently disqualify a disabled beneficiary from benefits, and an annual review system for keeping the plan current as laws and contribution limits change. This book is for readers who want to understand how a Third-Party Special Needs Trust protects government benefits and how to set one up without being a lawyer. It is for parents concerned that a current life insurance policy, retirement account, or will is routing assets in a way that would cost their child their Medicaid coverage. It is for family members serving as trustees who want a practical compliance reference for day-to-day distribution decisions. It is for grandparents, aunts, and uncles who want to support a disabled loved one in their own estate plans without accidentally creating an eligibility crisis. It is for any professional advisor who needs a current, consumer-level resource to recommend. For parents who want to protect their child's government benefits and financial future with clarity and confidence, this book provides a practical, current, and structured guide through every step of the planning process. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…

When a parent's standard will becomes a danger to the child it was meant to protect
A direct inheritance can push a disabled beneficiary above the $2,000 asset limit that governs Supplemental Security Income. When that limit is breached, SSI stops, and in most states, Medicaid stops with it, often within the same month. This is not a rare complication. It is what happens by default when the specific legal structures required for a disabled beneficiary are not in place. For parents who have spent years building a support system around a child with a lifelong disability, standard estate planning is not a solution. It is a risk.
