Q. What if I have a disabled child and I do not want to leave that child his or her inheritance so that he does not lose his Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income? Should I leave them out of my estate plan and anticipate their siblings will take care of them?
A. This is a question we get a lot, and the answer is generally no. Through various estate planning mechanisms, we carefully craft an estate plan that will provide for a disabled child and not impair their ability to obtain government benefits.
