How to set up a special needs trust using bonds in the name of the special needs individual.

This is very complicated and will require you to hire a lawyer.  If your sister is disabled you might want to consider doing a gaurdianship, and having the court order the Special Needs Trust to be created as part of the guardianship.  The bonds cannot be in her name if she receives Medicaid or SSI as they will make her financially ineligible.  You will also need guidance on what can, and cannot, be done with the money in the trust.  If you are in the Monmouth or Ocean county areas, feel free to give me a call.
