[WSBAPT] PR duty as to Will beneficiary on State assistance

[Roger Hawkes]

I think no and yes.  But I await others’ experience re vesting.  And pose a new query: can a testator pass to the PR the obligation to create a special needs trust in the future if a beneficiary is then incapacitated?  If yes, what level of detail is required regarding terms of the snt?

Subject: [WSBAPT] PR duty as to Will beneficiary on State assistance

Does PR have a duty to not give inheritance to decedent's child who is on state aid (CA) and or have the funds to go to a special needs trust?  Further,  once the father has died did the money vest in the child and therefore its too late to put into a special needs trust?
Thanks
Mike
