Take care of your loved one's financial security while preserving their eligibility for government benefits with a Henson Trust.
A Henson Trust is a particular type of trust designed to safeguard the inheritance of individuals with disabilities while ensuring they remain eligible for government benefits. The funds are managed by a trustee who can utilize them for the beneficiary's benefit, while the beneficiary cannot directly access them. This prevents them from being deemed "asset rich" and losing their benefits.
When you set up a Henson Trust, you transfer assets into the trust. The trustee then manages and uses the trust funds for the beneficiary's benefit. The trustee can use the funds for various purposes, such as housing, transportation, and medical care. The beneficiary does not have direct access to the trust funds, but they can request money from the trustee. The trustee can then decide whether or not to grant the request.
There are many benefits to setting up a Henson Trust for a loved one with disabilities.
These benefits include:
• Protection of inheritance: The trust funds are protected from creditors, lawsuits, and bankruptcy.
• Preservation of government benefits: The beneficiary can continue to receive government benefits, such as Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) and the Canada Pension Plan Disability (CPP-D).
• Expert management: The trustee can manage the trust funds wisely and ensure they are used for the beneficiary's benefit.
• Flexibility: The trustee can use the trust funds for various purposes, such as housing, transportation, and medical care.
