What is the name of your state (only U.S. law) MO
Long drawn out story, but don't know how else to get help but ask, my daughter's father was killed on the job, his Mother received a wrongful death settlement, 50% of that going to my daughter, his only heir, when she becomes legal age. It is in a restricted account now, which is fine, I do not want to take any of it, but we have been receiving WC Death benefits to help take care of her NOW, while she is still young. I have asked if these benefits will go away or if they will change, cannot seem to get a straight answer. Lawyer for Wrongful death suit is in talks with them (WC) they have a lien against any monies that my daughter receives, but will the benefits stop completely that take care of her needs NOW once the lien is taken out of her part of the settlement? I am confused as to how this situation will work out. Thanks for any help.
