IVA and Inheritance?

Hi all,

I recently got some advice from SC who put me on to Grant Thornton.

After 2 decades of juggling credit cards, loans and remortgage's.
The debts have kept growing and now I'm heading towards 50 I've had to admit defeat and except I can't make the payments.

An IVA has been recommended so I'm awaiting the draft proposal.

My question is my parents have scrimped and saved all their lives never having much in the way of luxury or holidays.
They're not impressed with my financial situation and have decided to change their Will and leave any money to my daughter who is 12 yrs.

They are in their late 70's and not too well. If anything happens to them during the term of my IVA will this cause a problem.

Also if my wife had windfall would this come into the equation, she isn't named on any of my debts and is not included in the IVA.


Thanks for any help.
