Life Opportunity Trust Fund

What is the Life Opportunities Trust?

In 1999, the State of Washington made it easy for families and individuals with developmental disabilities to prepare for their future financial stability. The Legislature passed a bill establishing the Developmental Disabilities Endowment Trust Fund.

Now called the Life Opportunities Trust, this public-private partnership creates a stable resource to enhance the quality of life for citizens with developmental disabilities.

As a special needs trust, the Life Opportunities Trust shelters and preserves assets that would otherwise disqualify someone from government benefits, such  as Supplemental Security Income and Medicaid. The trust also allows for families and individuals to save for important services that may not otherwise be provided by the government, such as work training, assistive technology, respite care and more. You can learn more about the Trust in the other pages of this website, or by downloading our Trust Information Booklet.

The Developmental Disabilities Life Opportunities Trust is an easy and effective way to prepare for the future…and life’s unexpected expenses!
