This trust is commonly used when a person on Medicaid and/or SSI benefits comes into a windfall of money, such as from a personal injury lawsuit, structured settlement, or a direct inheritance from the sale of a home.
Community Trust III is a pooled supplemental needs trust (SNT) that is in many ways a hybrid between an individual trust and a pooled trust because this program allows the potential for a portion of any remaining funds to go to other family members once any Medicaid lien is satisfied upon the passing of the trust beneficiary.
