ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michimich -- According to estate planning attorneys at Pear, Sperling, Eggan & Daniels, P.C., estate planning comes down to two simple questions – "Who gets what?" and "Who is in charge"? However, if one of the beneficiaries is receiving or might receive Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income ("SSI") in the future, the answer to these questions gets more complicated.

A special needs trust ("SNT") needs to be established to safeguard the beneficiary's government benefits and to withstand the scrutiny of the Federal Government in reviewing the SNT.

As a result, the question becomes "Who gets what when and what is he or she allowed to receive?" Government regulations in this area are stringent and change frequently.
