What is a Pooled Special Needs Trust?
Pooled special needs trusts, unlike other types of trusts, are managed by non-profit organizations, rather than a single trustee. With pooled trusts, each beneficiary has a separate established account. These accounts are pooled together for the purpose of trust management and investment. In self-settled trusts, otherwise known as (d)(4)(C) pooled trusts, the individuals with the disability/special needs, parent, guardian, grandparent, or a court establishes each subaccount. In such cases, the assets of the disabled or special needs person fund the trust.
There are many advantages to utilizing a pooled special needs trust, whether you are funding it with hundreds of thousands of dollars or a more limited amount.
