Special Needs Trusts Funds..

If you missed attending the Wills & Trusts workshop at USCL on April 4th provided by the Family Connection of SC, then here are the highlights.
It was truly a great day for having a workshop, the sun was shinning the birds were chirping & it was really a beautiful morning. The kids & I arrived at USCL & noticed only three cars in the parking lot. I wondered to myself, "How come there are only three! It was time for the workshop to begin & no one was hardly here."
As I walked into the building, I was greeted by Ms. Vanhook, a Family Connection program assistant. She showed us to two rooms that were reserved for the workshop. One was for the children & the other one was for the parents. The kids went into one room & I, on the other hand, went into the other. I sat down at one of the desk & noticed that I & another parent were the only ones who attended. I guess since this workshop involved talking about death & your arrangements, maybe this is why no one came.
Anyway, Mr. Terry Hair, a MetLife representative, came into the room & presented a wonderful powerpoint presentation of Special Needs Trust Funds & Wills. It was truly an eye opener for me.. I had no idea of all the information that's involved with trust funds.
I also learned that if something should happen to me & my husband together, my kids would be in a big pickle. I never knew that since Brandon is on TEFRA Medicaid that after my husband & my death occurs, Medicaid could come into our estate & take a portion of that claim. This is why it is so important to have a Special Needs Trust Fund set up. This way, the children are protected & your estate is too.
Here are the links of some of the information that he provided during the workshop.. Please click on them to learn more...
Please also attend our May meeting to talk to Mr. Hair personally about your family. He would love to talk to you.
