There’s more than one way to protect a loved one with a disability.

Both types of special needs trusts help preserve public benefits — but the right one depends on where the funds come from and what you’re planning for.

Our blog explains the difference between first-party and third-party trusts in plain language. https://www.mcgrathpc.com/do-you-need-a-first-party-or-a-third-party-special-needs-trust

If there’s no will, Illinois law decides who inherits your assets — not you.

That could mean property goes to a spouse, children, or even distant relatives, regardless of your wishes. If you want certain people included—or excluded—a will is the only way to make that clear.

This short video explains what happens when there’s no will:

When you apply for long-term care Medicaid, the state reviews your finances from the past 5 years.

If you gave away assets during that time, it could delay or reduce your eligibility.
This “5-year lookback” most often affects:

Gifts to family
Transferring a home
Moving money into someone else’s name

Planning ahead can help reduce or avoid penalties. This rule impacts thousands of Illinois residents every year.

Life changes—so should your will. A new baby, a divorce, a change in finances… all good reasons to take another look. Even without big events, it’s smart to review your plan every few years to be sure it still matches your wishes. Here’s a quick video reminder.

Once your child turns 18, the law sees them as an adult—even if you’re still paying tuition. That means you can’t automatically access medical records or help in an emergency. A simple power of attorney makes sure you can step in when it matters most. Learn more on our blog.
