Seeking estate attorney who knows SSI disability & overage rules

[Kim Tonetti]

Hello, 

Please recommend PA attorneys who know how to structure overages return directions for an owner with SSI disability income. Client wishes to purchase another home with proceeds or assign interest, so SSI income is not at risk.

Thanks,

Kim

@Kim Tonetti, thats kind of a scary question to ask out loud.

As an agent, I don't think I would want to be involved with trying to game the welfare system. SSI is a social welfare program as the recipients didn't earn the benefit their are receiving. Its based on their financial need and it sounds like what you are talking about is hiding this recipient's income/assets so they can keep on collecting.

Whether there is a technically legal way to do it or not, I think many people will find the idea itself offensive.

@Kevin Sobilo ,  Good advice and I agree with you. Disabled owners would not keep assets, or hide financials, just seek a legal living plan for managing nominal surplus funds within boundaries. Out of my wheelhouse, so told them I would ask around for an estate attorney to refer to them. Very appreciative of your post, Kevin.
