Wow, you guys brush with such broad strokes! A trust can be used to responsibly transfer estate funds to someone who is disabled and receiving disability funds from the state, if you do not setup a trust the additional funds will disqualify them for receiving their disability benefits....so the trust releases a set-amount each month.

So, it's not a waste of time or money searching for a trust attorney....you're welcome!
