“Families need to understand that how money is received and managed can be just as important as the amount,” said Lesley Byars, CEO of Alabama Family Trust.

Are you planning to leave an inheritance to a loved one with a disability?

An inheritance left directly to someone receiving needs-based benefits, such as SSI or Medicaid, may affect their eligibility.
