How We Can Help

How You Give Is Just As Important As Who You Give To

In addition to the tax deduction available for direct gifts to 501(c)(3) religious and charitable organizations, some common trust options include:

  • Charitable remainder annuity trust (CRAT): An irrevocable trust that pays out a fixed dollar amount to the charity of your choosing typically paid on a monthly or annual basis.
  • Charitable remainder unity trust (CRUT): A predetermined percentage of the trust earnings will be paid to the charity of your choice.
  • Charitable lead trusts: You determine the number of years your selected charity will receive a distribution, after which time the assets of the trust may be distributed to the beneficiaries of your choosing.

We engaged Livens & Reed to create a Supplemental Needs Trust for our adult special needs daughter, to ensure her financial needs were met but also done in a way to not disqualify her for Texas Medicaid benefits she currently receives. Shawn Crawford was excellent, along with Caleigh and Angie: very thorough, explaining every aspect and legalese in layman's terms, in a timely manner and what we thought was a very reasonable fee. We also consulted with Chad Reed on our aging parent's needs and what steps we might follow to have them qualify for Medicaid, when the time and need arises. Very friendly, spent all the time we needed with us during our free consultation. Highly recommend this law firm for anyone considering Trusts, Medicaid qualifications, and elder care. Thank you Livens & Reed!

The legal team at Livens & Reed has proved to be nothing short of exceptional. From Chad Reed, Nicole Landrum and finally, today, Shawn Crawford. Talking about a dream team, I feel very fortunate and comforted knowing I have the right people on my side. Thank you for your warmth and professionalism! It’s reassuring to know our legal needs are in great hands. If I could rate higher than 5 stars I absolutely would.

I worked with Livens & Reed on a medicaid situation for my 93 year old mom. The paperwork, rules, timeline, can be stressful and intimidating at times, but Mehan Barbre & Nicole L. Harkins walked me through the paperwork, and doctuments that we needed and told me what to do and in the end sucess ! Thank you , again ! Erika Koneck
