Our Trusts

A Third Party Asset Trust is managed by a third-party trustee and has similar fees and beneficiary designations as the Self-Directed Asset Trust.

A Self-Directed Asset Trust allows disabled individuals to manage their own trust, with a minimum contribution and monthly fees, while retaining some control over the trust’s remaining funds after their death.

A Medicaid Spend-Down Trust allows disabled individuals to qualify for Medicaid by depositing excess income into the trust, with fees and beneficiary designations similar to the other trusts, but with all remaining funds retained by the trustee organization upon the beneficiary’s death.
