And where in your original post did you mention a special needs trust? Oh, that's right. You didn't. And the way you described your situation in your OP most assuredly sounds like you're trying to hide assets so your mom can continue to receive gov't benefits she wouldn't otherwise be entitled to.
But you go right on with your bad self. Cherry-pick the posts that support your viewpoint and ignore the ethics of what you propose.
I didn’t mention it because I was less knowledgeable before posting this and thanks to people that actually provide usefull information (unlike yourself) which is what the forum is meant for, I now understand a potential strategy that was meant for situations like the one I presented.
I can care less how much it bothers you that I can improve my mothers quality of life while she does not lose benefits that her very low income qualifies her for and that I can do it within the law as others have stated here.
I probably pay far more taxes than you do so guess what? While it bothers you, it doesn’t bother me one bit that we live in a country that allows my mother to have access to these types of benefits while she pretty much lives a very humble lifestyle month to month without a penny to her name and that I can buy her some things from time to time so she can feel like she is still alive.
