Help to Buy ISAs

I have recently inherited my family home due to losing a parent. I have been saving in a help to buy ISA to buy my own first house. Due to inheriting and me now ‘owning’ my family home, will this effect me being able to benefit from the Help to Buy ISA scheme?

    I'm sorry for your loss. Yes, you are no longer eligible to hold a HTB ISA and you won't be able to claim the Government bonus if you were to buy another home.

    You can of course still open a S&S Lifetime ISA to invest towards age 60+ earning a 25% government bonus on your contributions.
