assets/stuff belonging to kids

Will my daughter's stuff be safe from the OR? She has a laptop and a Wii, both gifted to her by my parents. Will they be taken away?

  • Hi eklynn,

    The OR won't touch any of your household stuff, they won't come to your home or anything.

    The only assets they are interested in is houses, cars and expensive antiques & items of high resale value, i.e if they can get £1k for it at acution.
    Incommunicado ;)

    Thanks!
    I have resigned myself to the fact that I'll lose my car but I don't think I could cope if they wanted my daughter's stuff, she'll be going through enough of an upheaval as it is.
    So, if they don't come to your home, how do they know if you have anything of value? I could be packing 50" plasmas and antique paintings in here!! (I promise I'm not btw!)

    Its all down to trust.....if you lie to the official receiver they WILL find out by going through your finances with a fine tooth comb...they can usually tell if someone is taking the P*****

    usually you go BR for a good reason ;):D
