* Why special needs trusts are essential for preserving the eligibility of individuals with disabilities for public benefits such as Medi-Cal and SSI, requiring meticulous planning and specific language to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations
* The differences between first-party and third-party special needs trusts, with third-party trusts being funded by someone other than the beneficiary and first-party trusts being funded with the beneficiary's own assets
* The importance of having an experienced attorney draft and review these trusts due to their complexity and the frequent changes in laws and regulations, which can have significant impacts on the beneficiary's eligibility and access to benefits.
