Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This handbook is designed to present complex legal issues in the areas of conservatorship and limited conservatorship, and special needs trusts, and to do so in language which can be understood by the "average California reader." Because of the general audience for whom this handbook has been designed, the drafters have used language focusing on citizens who are "mentally retarded" and "develop-mentally disabled" and their "parents"; however, the legal scope is often broader. Changes in the laws effective January 1, 1996, have been included in these materials."--Forward, PDF p. [4].

Download or read book Administering the California Special Needs Trust written by Kevin Urbatsch and published by . This book was released on 2016-10-21 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Administering a special needs trust (SNT) is a very important job, which often has a profound impact on the life of persons with disabilities. In most cases, the SNT trustee is providing the beneficiary goods and services that improve their quality of life. In some cases, the SNT trustee may be the only person looking to the beneficiary's welfare. Thus, the role of SNT trustee is often a more substantial role than in many other types of trusteeships. The great SNT trustee is a solid financial manager, accountant, record keeper, legal counselor, public benefits advisor, social worker, housing coordinator, civil rights advocate, guardian, and life coach. This is why author Kevin Urbatsch published his book titled Administering the California Special Needs Trust. It has been five years since the book was published. The reception for it far exceeded expectations. There have been excellent reviews of how it has helped SNT trustees, beneficiaries, their families, and professionals who advise persons with disabilities. After reviewing the book, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) flew Kevin to Washington D.C. to present to federal government bank auditors on what to look for when auditing corporate trustees when banks administer special needs trusts. Other than the numbers that change each year, like SSI or SSDI, the balance of the book was current and up-to-date. However, there were some subjects that were missing in the book plus a couple of big changes that occurred since publication, including the passage of the Affordable Care Act and the ABLE (Achieving a Better Life Experience) Act that provide excellent new tools for the SNT trustee. Kevin recruited several of his professional colleagues to assist in preparing this Second Edition of the book including Michele Fuller, Robert Nuddleman, Herb Thomas, Courtney Kosnik, Scott MacDonald, and Daniel Cutter. With their assistance, Kevin added the following new chapters to the book Paying Caregivers, Paying Trustee's Fees, Understanding and Utilizing ABLE Accounts, and Protecting the SNT Trustee. Kevin was also able to update and revise the information in the balance of the book and provide additional forms to make the job of being an SNT trustee safer and more efficient. With the checklists, form documents and law summaries included, Administering the Special Needs Trust contains a wide range of information for those charged with the responsibility of managing an SNT for persons with disabilities.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Colorado Trust Practice written by Carol Ann Payne and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few attorneys have the privilege of learning trust practice from an experienced estate-planning lawyer. Most new associates are assigned research tasks, and very seldom get to draft a will or a trust. Opportunity to learn the art of counseling clients on the contents and use of those documents is even rarer. Consequently, the attorney who steps out into trust practice from law school, another firm, or from other areas of an established practice, often has large gaps in experience to overcome. This book will help to fill those gaps by offering a step-by-step approach to the process of drafting and implementing trusts for Colorado clients, with detailed information on how to build your trust practice. Forms and checklists will be included and referenced, throughout. More importantly, this book goes far beyond merely explaining how to complete the right form and takes a "holistic" approach to handling client matters.
