What's in a Name? Special Needs Trusts v. Supplemental Needs Trusts 


At Bellomo & Associates, we are committed to client education. In this episode, Jeff discusses the differences between a Special Needs Trust and a Supplemental Needs Trust as part of that commitment. Our Special Needs Workshop offers another opportunity to learn these key concepts.


Our Estate Planning Workshop focuses on pre-planning activities, such as Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Asset Protection Trusts. 


If you or a loved one will need skilled care in the next six months to a year, our Medicaid Workshop would probably best serve you.


The Life Care Planning Workshop helps you support a loved one in aging in place. Our licensed social workers share their valuable expertise with you.


After the loss of a loved one, you can attend our Administration Workshop, where you’ll learn how to administer the estate properly. 


Call (717) 845-5390 or visit https://bellomoassociates.com/workshops/ to learn more or register for our free, educational workshops.
