My sister is limited in her ability to work due to various illnesses and is struggling to get state benefits paid as it is now, but she is about to inherit some money and lose the ability to live in the house as it will be sold as Part of the estate. She has limited capacity to manage finances due to mental illness so I am wondering if I should have the money put in trust for her. Will the benefits system disregard money in trust from their benefits calculations so that she can have the basics provided, be that income support or housing benefit.
Anyone know?
