[WSBAPT] Special Need Trust distribution toward mortgage

[Robert R. Cole]

Third party special needs trust established by Mom's Will for son.  Son 
is disabled. He and his wife are living in C/P home with a large 
mortgage in both names.  Son soon to be eligible for Medicaid (COPES), 
so want to keep him eligible.  So, can the SNT make the mortgage 
payment?  Does it matter if the home is conveyed to Wife? (H would still 
be on mortgage.)  Can the SNT pay off the mortgage, in whole or in 
part?    I am under the impression that a SNT could provide the down 
payment for a house, or provide a paid for house, but could not pay rent 
for an apartment.  I appreciate your insight/expertise.  Thanks.
