For families who have a family member with a disability, financial trusts can be an extremely crucial part of financial and estate planning and can provide a number of benefits. There are a number of important decisions that must be made when establishing a trust as part of your estate plan.

• When to establish the trust?
• Who will be the trustees?
• Is the trustee able to manage and invest the assets?
• What is the trustee’s relationship with your family member with a disability?
• What is your trustee’s age in relation to the age of your family member with a disability?
• What assets will be put in trust?
• What kind of trust will be created?
• Who will receive trust assets following the death of the beneficiary?
