Hello there.I lost my mum 6 months ago and i am executor of her will.The money has now all been collected and the her house is on the market.The money is in an executor account.Do i now have to tell the DWP even tho the money hasnt been shared out which isnt going to be done until the house is sold.However i just wanted to check if i have to notify them now?I don't want to do the wrong thing.

I am disabled and am on DLA i know that wont be affected but i'm also on ESA income and contribution based,i get help with the mortgage and council tax benefit.I know they will all be stopped but i had it in my head it wouldnt be until all mums assets were sorted but i'm worried i might be wrong.I've had advice about what i'm allowed to do or not to do with the money but i dont know when exactly it is i must tell them.

You tell them when you are given the funds.

My advice is based on my opinion, my experience and my education. I do not profess to be an expert in any given field. If requested, I will provide a link where possible to relevant legislation or guidance, so that advice provided can be confirmed and I do encourage others to follow those links for their own peace of mind. Sometimes my advice is not what people necesserily want to hear, but I will advise on facts as I know them - although it may not be what a person wants to hear it helps to know where you stand. Advice on the internet should never be a substitute for advice from your own legal professional with full knowledge of your individual case.

 

 

Please do not seek, offer or produce advice on a consumer issue via private message; it is against

forum rules to advise via private message, therefore pm's requesting private advice will not receive a response.
