I am innate infirm with Kleinfelter Syndrome. Not the unequivocally great good known commotion though i have my problems. Aside from earthy problems i am intelligent sufficient to duty in multitude during the unclothed smallest level, as good as i know i am not which smart. The comparison i get, the harder hold up gets deliberation i have regularly worked smallest salary jobs. Now during age 49, i have been upon Social Security Disability given Dec 2004. My income check was only lifted to $850 the month. I do not embrace most given i didn’t minister most when i was working. I was lifted in an upscale area in Passaic County NJ. Lucky for my family, they paid for houses in the 70’s as good as sole them in the late 90’s for the outrageous profit. My smashing parents mom is right away scarcely 98, as good as lives in the oppulance nursing home in Florida. She gave roughly all of her income to them as good as set in reserve $50,000 in the certitude account in her will for me to buy the residence sometime given she knows i could never do which upon my own. My mom (her daughter, the late lawyer) is in carry out of her finances. My sister (a college grad who has her own commercial operation as good as lives in Mendham NJ) is the keeper of the money. Both of them live in gated communities in upscale NJ as good as regularly discuss it me how pennyless they are. I changed to farming Arkansas in 1997, as good as have done my own way, the most appropriate i can given then. I live in the mobile home which i paid for for $5,000 as good as my home as good as skill my be value $30K upon the great day. Grandma had the cadence the alternative day as good as my sister called me as good as pronounced “she’d feel bad about giving me all which money” given she unequivocally needs it given her kid is right away in college during Columbia in NYC as good as the fee is $50K the year as good as she needs it some-more than i do. According to her, i am pulling the fraud upon the gov’t given i get $850 in giveaway income each month. Since the income is presumably in Grandma’s will for me….Can they take it? I know they will try to clear their needs for it. According to them, i do not need it. Living in an aged trailer as good as pushing the junk automobile as good as operative for low salary is “good enough” for me. It’s regularly been which way, i am the black sheep as good as i am the scammer according to them. What should i do? Can they take income which has been “willed” to me? Will amicable confidence reprove me? I need the medicare as great as the money…..i was not long ago diagnosed with ruemitiod arthritis, the surgeries have been costly as good as i am already in debt in healing bills. Thank we in advance.

I would talk to an attorney. No matter what your sister says you are entitled to that money, if she wants to send her daughter to an expensive school like that she should pay for it. I think that she should walk in your shoes, and then maybe she will realize what it is like to be broke, fight her for it!
I am not a lawyer but as far as I know, if the money is willed to you your sister can’t get it. It sounds like you are doing OK on your own and you don’t have a guardian who oversees your money. This inheritance will not affect your Social Security or you getting Medicare. I am sorry your grandmother had a stroke. I wish you all the best.
If it’s willed to you, it’s yours. The only way that they could interfere is if your gran was proven to be of unsound mind at the time that she made the bequest AND that you unduly influenced her to make the bequest. From your description of things, that’s not likely to happen.
Many wills also include provisions that anyone who unsuccessfully contests a bequest is cut off with nothing. If they tried anything on and lost, you could actually wind up with MORE, not less.
The inheritance won’t affect your SSDI. Nor will it affect your entitlement to Medicare. Neither are needs-based entitlements. If you are receiving State Medicaid that might be affected though, until you spend down enough of it to re-qualify.
Your sister cannot take the money from you if Grandma provides it for you in her will. It sounds like your sister is already trying to scam YOU out of the money. Pour grandma, your sister already has her dead and giving your her sob story. She cannot take it from you, but she’s trying to convince you she has more need than you. Tell her if she wants to send her daughter to college, take out a second mortgage, but keep her hand out of your pocket.
