I echo the others: talk to an attorney. You may be able to have the house sold after your death, with half the sales price given to your son and half set up in a protected trust or other account which is a legal possession for your daughter. You may also be able to establish who makes decisions regarding her care after you're gone, who manages her financial affairs, and who makes medical decisions on her behalf. If you don't set that up, the state may put itself in charge.

You need to talk to an attorney. They know all the loopholes of how to give your daughter her share without the government getting it.

Talk to an attorney about all this or it won't be legal, not us. We can give you some ideas but, an attorney is best.

tough question. this is one that you need to talk to a lawyer about. if memory serves me right (i'm also disabled) a disabled person is allowed to own one house,one car. you might even want to contact social security administration office near you and ask them just to be sure that i'm correct. good luck.
