Can I pay using the special needs trust fund?

Question

I want to take my disabled child on vacation but I need help caring for him. I'm a single mom and would need to take a friend or hire someone. Will the special needs trust fund pay for my child, myself and a helper?

Answer 1

That depends on the terms of you individual trust. Without reviewing the trust documents, NO ONE can accurately answer any question about what funds from ANY trust can be used for. Even then, there is most likely room for interpretation.
