Owning part of a property affect benefits?

Owning part of a property affect benefits? was created by MissEl
Hello, I am 50 and currently on ESA (support group) and DLA (lower mobility component). I am living with my 80year old mum in a house that she owns.
She wants to put my name on the house, well, a third of the house, to give me some security later.... lovely of her
...I am wondering if this will affect my benefits in any way? And if it is something that i need to inform them about.
Also, I may in the future want to move and get a little more independance in my own place, would having part ownership of a house affect benefits such as housing benefit and council tax benefit?
Many thanks for any help
