    Some posters have leapfrogged into discussing investment matters, without addressing the above questions, but note @Xylophone's post asking whether your daughter does in fact have an 'indefeasible vested' interest in her 1/4 share.


    Yes. In terms of the bequest, my suggestions re JISA/child accounts in trust are only relevant if there is an indefeasible vested interest.

    If there was indeed £300k divided equally between 4, in your daughter’s uncle’s will, then is it possible that  the £300k would have been divided by 5 given the birth of your son. Rather than simply expecting your daughter to “share” her inheritance with her brother.
