[WSBAPT] Custodial funds into a Special Needs Trust

[Glenn Price]

Listmates:

Parent wishes to transfer funds that are currently in a custodial account to a SNT for special needs child.

Questions:  (1)   Does this constitute a self-settled trust by the child?
        (2)    If so, will the child still qualify for benefits, with just a payback provision to the state at child's death?
                    (3)    Will the trust assets be available to any creditor of the beneficiary (excluding DSHS)?

Thank you for your insights.
