i have in my Will given my son a life interest to stay in our family home for his lifetime - he receives universal credit getting the Limited Capability for Work element as he cannot work for medical reasons. will having a life interest affect his UC when I die - he will not own the property.
Hopefully a qualified solicitor has drafted your will. In that case there will be a Trust and Trustees. If the terms of the will are such that your son cannot obtain possession of the property to sell it or rent it out himself then I think it won't count as an asset for the DWP capital rules.
