Q: I am on SSDI ( due to ms) and i'm in a irrevocable special needs trust with my brother who can't pass his portion to me
We are both equal ownership (inheridence from father who just died) but due to the fact he is involved with a bankruptcy which will not let him pass ownership to me. Do we have any options with out being forced to give up the condo(currently I am living there) at and have to move out? and can he give me ownership and will not negative effect on his bankruptcy?
A: I’m sorry that your father has passed and your brother is in a difficult circumstance. His bankruptcy attorney can explain all of his options with regard to the trust. His attorney may also need to consult with a probate/estate planning attorney. Because the laws regarding the trust are state specific.
