Hi,

I have a friend who has an administration order. Would she be able to get a LISA or would this cause problems with the administration order? What about a junior ISA for her daughter?

Thanks!

    I guess it depends on the terms of the court order (which she should have been provided with) however provided she is making the required monthly payments then I see no reason why she cannot save other surplus income.

    If she falls behind in repayments then this might be an issue as the LISA has a withdrawal penalty and the court might take a view on gifting the money (that could have otherwise been used for repayment) to a child via a Junior ISA.

    Alex.
