Focused work, done thoroughly — not a catalogue of thin offerings.

01

Third-Party Supplemental Needs Trust Administration

A third-party SNT is funded by someone other than the beneficiary and is designed to enhance quality of life without treating trust assets as the beneficiary's own resources. Administration is where that design either holds or quietly erodes.

• Benefit-aware review of every distribution request
• Documentation of intent, purpose, and reasoning for each decision
• Coordination with families, care managers, and institutions
• Periodic statements and annual accountings
• Records organized for bank, attorney, and court review

02

Medicaid Asset Protection Trust Administration

A MAPT is an irrevocable trust established by a grantor, typically for long-term-care planning. Its purpose, audience, and administrative responsibilities differ substantially from a third-party SNT — and conflating the two creates real risk.

• Recordkeeping appropriate to an irrevocable grantor-established trust
• Tracking of contributions, transfers, and their documentation
• Coordination with the drafting attorney on permitted activity
• Annual reporting and organized supporting schedules
• Clear separation from SNT administration practices and standards

Pending approval: Draft scope. The precise MAPT engagement scope, jurisdictional coverage, and compliance services require Stephen's review and approval before publication.

03

Fiduciary Accounting and Reporting

Statements, transaction histories, annual accountings, and narrative summaries prepared so a reviewer can follow the reasoning, not just the arithmetic.

• Reconciled transaction histories
• Annual accountings with supporting schedules
• Narrative explanations written for non-accountants
• Formats suited to institutional and judicial review

04

Trust Transition and Record Remediation

When a trust arrives with missing statements, undocumented distributions, or an incomplete history, the first job is reconstruction — carefully, and without overstating what the record can support.

• Assessment of what exists and what is genuinely missing
• Reconstruction of history from available sources
• Written disclosure of gaps rather than assumptions
• A forward-looking process so the gap does not recur

05

Beneficiary Lifestyle Planning

Planning that starts with the beneficiary's actual life — housing, transportation, therapies, education, community participation — and works back to what the trust can responsibly support over time.

• Needs discussion with the beneficiary and their support circle
• Sustainable spending patterns rather than one-time decisions
• Coordination with care managers and service agencies
• Respectful, counseling-based communication

06

Trustee Fiduciary Wellness and Support

Serving as trustee is a real burden. This is structured support for the person carrying it: process, documentation habits, and a professional to think alongside.

• Orientation to fiduciary duties in practical terms
• Decision and documentation frameworks
• Preparation for annual accounting cycles
• A steady point of contact for hard calls

07

Professional Referral Partnerships

Ongoing relationships with attorneys, banks, trust departments, courts, care managers, and disability-service agencies who need dependable administration capacity.

• Defined intake and escalation paths
• Reporting formats matched to your standards
• Clear scope boundaries between administration and legal advice
• Responsive coordination on time-sensitive matters
