Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Illinois

This is a question that has no simple answer. You may loose your benefits with regard to certain entitlement programs, and that depends what the programs are. However, there are options that might allow you put the money into trust and still maintain your benefits.

This area of law is very complex and you need to discuss the planning with an experienced estate planning attorney who is knowledgable in disability trust law. If you need help finding such a person, contact the Bar Association in the County where you live, or the Bar ASsociation of the nearest large metropolitan area.

Good luck to you.
