Receiving an inheritance can affect your ability to receive government benefits. You and your mother should discuss this matter with an estate planning attorney who can advise you whether a special needs trust should be put in place.
The inheritance may disqualify you from receiving your benefits so it is important for your mother to speak with estate planning attorney. The attorney will access your situation and possibly set up a Special Needs Trust so you can receive your inheritance and not disqualify you.
