What is the name of your state? maine
My parents own land together, but are divorced. we were always told that we would all get a piece of land when we were ready for a home of our own. About 3 weeks ago my mom called my dad and asked if she could start the process of diving up the land to us kids. all us kids are getting is 2 acres a piece between 3 kids, and there is 40 acres. My mom owns the controling interest in the land. but Dad said no he will no give up his land to us kids because if he does he will lose his SSI/disability. SO we went to the SSI office to see if DAD can gift us land without it effecting his SSI/Disability and they told us dad doesnt get ssi he gets a veterans pension. So my question is Can dad lose his benefits whether it is SSI or veterans pension if he gifts us a piece of land.
