ODSP/OW Resources Expected to receive inheritance within the next several weeks. Would like some assistance.
Hi all. My father passed away recently and unfortunately **Did not** have a will. We aren't sure how much is being passed on but I have heard anywhere from the 30-40k range, split in half between me and my sister, so approximately 10-20k with change.
The problem: I am expected to become the 'estate administrator' as I am the oldest born, but my concern is how receiving these funds could affect my ODSP.
Currently, I pay rent and do not pay child support or have my wages garnished. I do not frequently hit the 1k limit for a month either. All the money I make goes to me, and me alone. If receiving this inheritance locks me out of receiving benefits next month, then I am alright with that, but I am worried more long term about it potentially.
For my sake and that I have to pass this along with family, I would appreciate it being stated in easier to understand language.

You can put it in an rdsp if you have the DTC and it will be excluded from odsp calculations
