Re: wills
there are numerous legal and tax issues related to gifts or inheritances to ssi recipients. your mother should consult with a qualified attorney to consider the estate, gift, income and real property tax consequences of such a gift, as well as the effect on ssi (and possible methods to avoid or reduce the impact).
