Special Needs Trusts in Oklahoma

A Special Needs Trust (SNT), also referred to as a Supplemental Needs Trust, is a trust created for an individual who receives or who may receive state or federal benefits. The trust is designed to provide for the individual’s “supplemental needs” while maintaining the individual’s eligibility for benefits provided by the government.

Types of Special Needs Trusts:

Third Party: A parent or other third party creates and funds a trust for the individual receiving government benefits. The trust can be funded now or through the parent or third party’s estate plan.

First Party: This type of SNT is also called a “(d)(4)(A) Trust” or “Medicaid Pay-Back Trust” and is funded with the beneficiary’s own assets (i.e. personal injury settlement). Upon the death of the beneficiary, remaining assets must be paid back to the state for up to the amount of medical assistance paid by the state.

Stand-by Special Needs Trust provisions: Because we do not ever know what the future may hold for our family or beneficiaries, stand-by Special Needs Trust provisions are important to include in your revocable trust. With these provisions included in your revocable trust, your Trustee can create a Special Needs Trust for a beneficiary if necessary at the time of your death.

I cannot thank Mr. Tommy Pfeil and Ms. Sarah Willey enough for all the support they've shown me throughout my unfortunate divorce. With all the twists and turns thrown at my situation both in my personal life, but also my military career. This team always made me feel as though my case took priority. I will forever be grateful for them and highly recommend either of them to represent you as you drudge through your specific situation. Thank you again Mr. Tommy Pfeil and Ms. Sarah Willey for everything you did on my behalf.

I felt like I mattered. I felt like what I had to say was important. Glenn was thoughtful, encouraging and understanding. She helped me navigate the process and validated my thoughts about things I was not sure. Thank you Glenn!!! It was great working with you!

Jon Dean Green

★★★★★

I turned to Ball Morse Lowe, PLCC when I needed my mother's estate probated in Oklahoma. It involved mineral rights and I live in California and my mother had not lived in OK for over 60 years. I wanted a firm that would do this correctly and be reasonable in cost. Jennifer Wright was a pleasure to work with. She and her staff were professional, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They made the experience of probate painless, explained things as we went along, and were clear in their expectation of what they would need from me to move the process forward. I am so glad I found them and appreciate deeply all they accomplished on my behalf.
