Senate Passes Fix to Let Persons with Disabilities Create Special Needs Trusts

http://goo.gl/66EqXY 

The Senate unanimously approved the Special Needs Trust Fairness Act (S. 349) to correct an error in the law that presumes that all persons with disabilities lack the mental capacity to handle their own affairs. The legislation was introduced by Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Bill Nelson (D-FL), with Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) joining as a co-sponsor.
