Re: Help..

I am not sure how the receipt of the house by inheritence will matter as to your SSI which I believe daughter is getting because she is disabled or over the retirement age. Social Security is not a need based program, that is, it is not means tested. So, ownership of the house should not matter. After the house is transfered to the daughter via the probate of Mom's estate, she can deed the property to anyone she pleases. For more info, please contact my office at (248)851-3171.
