We have created a Special Needs Trust in our Living Trust. My step-daughter, who will be the beneficiary, is mentally ill and very un-cooperative with our efforts. We _think_ she is getting SSI, ergo she is judged "disabled", but she will not divulge any real information. She refuses to provide the "Benefits Verification Letter" from SSA so I would know for sure.
What legal jeopardy am I in if I go ahead and create a SNT and the IRS discovers she is not disabled? Even if I show several good-faith efforts to determine her status?
Thanks.
