[WSBAPT] social security question

[Shannon Jones]

Listmates, Have a retired client who adopted a grandchild. Client is retired on social security, so social security sends separate check for adopted dependent. Client has kept the grandchild's SS money separate and would like to put in trust for college, to buy a house, etc. Grandchild is nearing 18 years of age. Is client permitted to put SS money in trust with conditions for distribution that extend beyond age 18? Or is this the child's money, period, on attaining age 18. Input appreciated - Shannon
