Guardianships & Special Needs Trusts

Consistent with the best interests of minor children and persons under disabiliities, Brosnan & Associates, LLP provides advice, representation and assistance regarding the appointment of appropriate guardians for minor children and intellectually or developmentally disabled adults. We establish Medicaid-protected Supplemental Needs Trusts for the lifetime benefit of disabled persons. After the establishment of these trusts, we continue to work with families and institutional fiduciaries to maximize the proceeds received as a result of court verdicts or settlements. While maintaining compliance with the strict guidelines applicable to disbursing and accounting for such trust funds, we ensure that the individuals with special needs receive all public benefits available to them throughout their lifetime.
