Question Author
Sorry, i obviously didn't explain well enough. My father is giving me the whole amount. (�50k) We are opening an account together initially, as the cheque from my nans estate will have my father's name on it. When the cheque clears my dad will take his name off the account and so the account and the money will be soley in my name. Doing it this way we won't have to find a charge for deed of variation. What i was trying to ask, and quite rightly, as you pointed out, is another question, is would it be deemed as trust income although it was left to my father in his name, as being on working and child tax credit you have to declare trust income on the form? Would it still be deemed as trust income for myself even though i was not the initial beneficiary of my nans estate as my dad has gifted his trust income to me? Hope i have explained better, sorry for the confusion, and thank you for your replies, much appreciated.
