Supplemental Needs Trusts: Thinking About the Future

Decisions about the future are often the most difficult and the most burdensome for the parents of people with developmental disabilities. The questions often seem overwhelming.

  • How will my son or daughter be cared for in my absence?
  • Who will care for my son or daughter as guardian or trustee?
  • Should I set aside money for my child?
  • How should my will make provisions for all my children, the ones with special needs as well as my other children?
  • Have I done everything I can to protect the financial future of my son or daughter?
  • Are there other relatives who should be involved in planning for the future?

These decisions about the future demand careful consideration. The options and opportunities for parents are many and the legal and financial concerns intimidating. Westchester Arc Foundation is committed to helping people understand the options and directing them to the information and resources that can help them make decisions.

One option that may be appropriate for many situations is a Supplemental Needs Trusts.

Please call Anne Sweazey, Executive Director, Westchester Arc Foundation, 914.428.8330, ext. 4625, or e-mail asweazey@westchesterarc.org for more information on Supplemental Needs Trusts.
