Granny's gone and done it again

Granny, I was 18 when Dad died. I was in a really bad spot when Mom passed (kidney failure and unable to work).I got SSD. SSD was determined by my life's earnings, how much I paid into taxes.(To pass for SSD you can have a big bank account. A DR can collect SSD) I also had medical assistance (part of SSI since I also have bipolar& Crohn's). The inheritance would have disqualified my medical assistance (to much money) but it wasn't enough to cover medical expenses for long. So through orphans court it was put in a trust.
The trustee handles everything. I can never touch it. They can help if they think I'm not using it wisely.

It was a court appointed trustee? How do you know if you get a trustworthy one?
 
She has a good point. The state would probably make him use all the trust money first. You need to go talk to an attorney. Is the house only in your name?
No, the state would not make him use the trust first of it is a 'Special Needs Trust'. The state sees an SNT as being good for people with disabilities to also have some pleasure. How ever, if he were to pass, and there's money left in the trust, If he collected SSI, then the state would want that money. It's very complicated.

I had my brother in law. It was in orphans court because I had no parents or grandparents. I had to pay a lawyer. My sister in law gave problems so I changed trustee to my lawyer.
Getting a trust Worthy person is why I don't recommend a trust for someone with autism. My niece is autistic
