The Arc of The United States had developed a very helpful guide that explains pooled special needs trusts.  Click on the link below to read and/or download a copy of this guide.

Pooled Trust Program Guide

Fortunately, there is a pooled trust program available in Wisconsin. The trust program is offered through WisPACT.  For additional information on this program, visit the WisPACT website at www.wispact.org.

Families may also want to consider individual private special needs trusts. 

Because trusts can be complex and must be developed based on the individual needs of the trust beneficiaries, it is recommended that anyone interested in establishing a special needs trust work with an attorney with expertise in special needs trusts.  Should you require assistance in locating such an attorney, please contact The Arc-Wisconsin at (877) 272-8400.
