Types of Trusts Administered by The Center

The Center Currently Administers the Following Types of Trusts.

  • Special Needs Trusts, also called (d)(4)(A) trusts because of where they are found in the Federal Statute that authorizes them: 42 U.S.C. Section 1396p (d)(4)(A).

  • Qualified Income Trusts, which are created specifically to meet income cap requirements.  While not referred to as such, these trusts are found at (d)(4)(B) in the Federal Statute.

  • Pooled Trusts, which are also called (d)(4)(C) trusts because of where they are found in the Federal Statute that authorizes them: 42 U.S.C. Section 1396p(d)(4)(C).  Pooled Trusts have very specific requirements, and there are not very many actually operating successfully across the country.  The Center has a number of Pooled Trusts that have been established pursuant to 1396p(d)(4)(C), and you can select from among several of these Pooled Trusts by using the following links.

Pooled Trusts 

One of the major distinctions between Special Needs Trusts and Pooled Trusts, and a distinction that is often misunderstood, is the federal requirement that Pooled Trusts must be established and administered by a non-profit association.

 

Third Party Special Needs Trusts

Third Party Special Needs Trusts are the ideal planning vehicle when the assets funding the trust do not belong to the trust beneficiary.

Because the trust beneficiary never owned the assets, the State will not have any claim on any remaining trust assets at the beneficiary's death.
