Published: May 19, 2019, 1:15 p.m.

We've written -- and talked -- about different types of special needs trusts over the past week. One term that we frequently hear is about "supplemental benefits" trusts. Are they same thing as special needs trusts? Are they even recognized in Arizona? In this week's podcast, we try to demystify the supplemental benefits trust. Join us for our review of the terminology. You can also check out this week's newsletter. We try to explain the whole concept of the self-settled special needs trust. Do you have questions about special needs trusts (or, for that matter, supplemental benefits trusts)? We can't give individualized legal advice online or in our podcasts, but we might be able to answer your general questions. At least we can point you to some resources.
