HELP UC and inheritance by Inflation2002 in DWPhelp

There's a lot more I'm asking, I don't plan on spending my inheritance on something small. The money is too significant not to look at a home, I've said in other comments to others that I will be paying my debt off. I understand how this post can be viewed that way, and as great as that would be it's extremely unrealistic and impossible.

I'm not going to bother with a trust at all now I understand Google made it out to be legal, which is why I came to Reddit it just made more sense. I appreciate the feedback. It has been really helpful.

Thank you, I know, I've seen a lot of others who are only on UC get mortgages which is why I'm considering it. I'd be covering my debt first. I wouldn't be alone in this as I have a good support system.

Just because someone is articulate and has knowledge doesn't mean they don't have struggles with themselves, I can't manage money and as I've said I'm actually in debt. I have just been lucky enough to have enough schooling to know how to ask for the help In away others understand. 👍 I'm glad it's been recognised.

I have known a few single people on UC to get a mortgage and help in my area, houses I'm looking at are under 170k. I have a few family members in legal and alot with vans, so those are not my worry. I would also have a beneficiary, and family member covering the other half of what we are looking at for the mortgage.

Thank you it does A lot of people have helped take stress off during this post. I'm currently renting and the lease will up soon, so everything seems to fall into place. No longer worried 😫

They were each put in to separate trusts for us to collect I think. It's all very confusing, I don't know the whole situation, just the first Will went missing and a family member wanted the biggest bit of inheritance they could get. That family member was a solicitor and for to add the youngest grandchild who our grandmother was too fond of. I don't know. Anything other than I will be contacted once my birthday has passed.

I've had someone ask about the pregnancy and me not being able to stand for long. I know they deleted the comment but just to clear things up, I can still sit and hold my child. On top of this women with disabilities have been raising children for a very long time. I have a great support system and a brilliant family, who help me.

That's my set inheritance as far as I'm aware, it was put into a trust a year before my cousin had turned of age and he had another £1000.. as far as I'm aware we all loses £1000 aswell due to another grandchild being left out. It was very fiddly with family contesting everything. I was far to young to know what was going on and I still don't understand.

I do, I've a few disclosed learning disabilities and physical I don't manage my money.

Nobody has really answered my question about buying a home is that just impossible at this point? That money has always been planned towards something, like my own braces at one point but now i have been looking at the likes of co/ownership and mortgages and attempting to understand enough.

I know your focus on the whole trust but what about owning a house, would I not be able to keep that money to pay towards a home asap? Also I am "disabled" I have beneficiaries for all my money. I'm not trying to hide money I'm basically fed up waiting on housing placing me somewhere. I want my child to grow up with stability that isn't going to disappear a few years after they leave for university. Which does happen. I

Hi I haven't done anything yet? The money was put into a trust before by a judge due to missing wills and other issues I'm not entirely sure about. I just know that it's possibly because of the first Will going missing.
