Hi, I struggle with schizoaffective and reside in IL. My parents are setting up a will and want to leave me a trust fund if there is anything left of their estate.
I know you have to be careful that Social Security won't consider that money to be income, thus taking SSDI away, and Medicaid also. Plus, I've heard of cases where a trust fund was made but when the beneficiary dies, everything the State has paid on his/her behalf for medical expenses is owed by the remaining family. Does anybody have any insight on trust funds? __________________ schizoaffective bipolar type Lithium, Trazodone, Klonopin, Abilify, Zoloft |

I'm not sure on inheritence, but I was set to make $100k on a house sale and my ssdi wouldn't be effected. A friend on just ssd was kicked off after an inheritance. I think we paid into system and it doesn't count money earned after ssdi. Your best bet is to get an attorney's advice.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
