Reply to comment by ChassidyZapata in My mom wants to purchase a home with cash and have me and my neice sign to be the owners by Roland_18

Happy cake day! Lol

So, mom is on disability and is worried that the government will take it away if she adds property to her name.

I also said that only one of us should own it.

A lot of this just makes no sense at all to me and I'm definitely worried about it being a headache

If your mom is the disabled person (ie, not collecting a spouse’s disability payments as a widow or something like that), there is no means testing to qualify for SSDI payments. The disabled person is disabled, and qualifies for payments, no matter how much money/assets they have.

If your mom has enough cash on hand to buy a house, how is that any different from owning a house? Assets are assets, regardless of what type they are.
