I have a disabled child who I would like to benefit from my estate, what do I need to consider?

Planning for the future of a disabled child can seem daunting.  If you leave your money outright to an adult with learning or developmental disabilities it can give rise to a range of problems, including their entitlement to means tested benefits.  In these circumstances creating a trust is often the best option.  So, rather than leaving the money outright to your dependent, it is left into a trust, from which they can benefit.
