When the clocks change it is a good time to update your special needs trust

Updating your special needs trust when the clocks spring forward is not just a prudent action; it’s a proactive measure that can safeguard the ongoing support and well-being of your loved one with special needs, long into the future. As time progresses, various factors such as shifts in laws and regulations, alterations in your personal circumstances, and changes in your loved one’s needs can all impact the efficacy and relevance of your special needs trust. Therefore, it’s imperative to conduct regular reviews and updates to ensure that the trust aligns with your current situation and your loved one’s evolving requirements. If you haven’t revisited your special needs trust in some time, the onset of daylight saving time presents an opportune moment to do so. By taking the initiative to review and potentially revise your trust document now, you can proactively address any outdated provisions, anticipate future challenges, and make necessary adjustments to enhance its effectiveness. Don’t underestimate the importance of this task; by staying proactive and vigilant, you can ensure that your loved one receives the comprehensive support and protection they deserve, both now and in the years to come.
