[WSBAPT] Special Needs Trust/ PR Question

[Setareh Mahmoodi]

Hello,

I have a client who has a son with disabilities. She wants to create a
Special Needs Trust for him in her will, he will be the only beneficiary.
She wants him to also be the personal representative. She will have other
people to appoint as trustee for the SNT. However, she is very intent on
having him as the PR and also on her Financial and Medical POAs as the
attorney in fact.

I am having a very difficult time finding anything on whether or not this
is appropriate. I am afraid that this will cause issues in the future with
his government funding/programs.

Has anyone dealt with this before or can direct me to where I can find more
on this topic?

Thanks so much!
