    Sounds like you have a plan. It's just another hurdle in the road you'll have to jump. But you can do it.

    Hope you get the account sorted. I'm sure your mum will understand, at least you're doing something to remedy your situation it's not as if you're burying your head in the sand.

    The most important thing is that my mum doesn't lose her savings. If i get my name off that account it will help prevent her account and savings being frozen or taken away from her.
    I am going to discuss with CAB and ask for advice. I think that if I let the IP/Trustee in waiting know and explain whats what then it may look like I am trying to hide money away somewhere... also it would be tipping them off about a possible windfall... arrrrggghhhh
    So, get my name off the account and keep schtum about it all?

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    I think the keeping schtum plan sounds a bit risky. If they found about it somehow later it could look really dodgy, they might freeze your mum's account anyway to make sure it's really her money and if they think you've been dishonest they might be able to extend how long you're in sequestration for. Definitely check with CAB!

    Definitely seeking advice from CAB on this.
    I'm thinking that being right upfront about it all may be best TBH
    I have never deposited into or withdrawn money from the account, it is all my mums. Surely a check of the account would show that?

    Goodnight everyone :A

    I agree your CAB advisor should know what's best to do and how to do it x

    Hi folks,

    CAB advisor came back to me this afternoon.

    Basically advised that I take my name off Mam's account and another family member take over until my sequestration is complete. Once my sequestration is complete I can then be added back on to the account :D

    It also safeguards against the rest of the family losing out on my Mams estate should she pass during the sequestration. I would rather have my Mam than the money TBH...

    Going to speak to one of my Aunts' or Uncles' about taking over from me whilst I am going through the sequestration.

    Solution, planned for and soon to be sorted - RESULT! :D
