If you have a family member with special needs who is receiving government benefits, you don't want to buy some mail-merged form off a website when creating your estate plan. Your family is in a unique situation where you need to be able to create planning that provides for your loved ones without endangering their entitlement to receive government benefits. For most people, the best option is to create a special kind of trust, a Special Needs Trust, to be able to leave a legacy for your family member and protect their benefits at the same time.
