There are many options when it comes to trusts, from revocable to irrevocable trusts and spendthrift trusts. However, it is crucial to pinpoint which type of trust will best suit your individual circumstances and the unique needs of your loved one, especially if they are struggling with a disability. For example, some people set up a special needs trust, which can be highly advantageous for beneficiaries, in certain circumstances. Regardless of the type of trust you decide will work best for you and those you love, it is crucial to carefully weigh your options and make the smartest decision.
