    Hmmmm my suspicious face is on.

    Okay why doesn!!!8217;t she just transfer them to you once she gets them? That solves your issue entirely, and the money still ends up in your account.

    Nice and simple.

    Your daughter's half of the proceeds will be paid to wherever SHE instructs the solicitors to pay them. Take it up with her :)

    They can, but if she is doing it so that she can claim benefits she wouldn't be entitled to if she had that sum of money, she'll be committing fraud and is highly likely to get caught.

    So you want the rest of us to pay benefits to your daughter while you look after her pile of cash? What you are proposing is fraud. Have you mentioned this scheme to the solicitor handling the conveyance?

    That's not the OP you've replied to.
    Officially in a clique of idiots

    Hang on, they haven't actually said that's the aim! I'm just pre-empting because that seems a likely reason. It could be something innocent like the daughter owing the parents the exact amount of money she'll be getting from the sale, you never know!
