Sounds like its a bare trust harry

This is quite complicated stuff. 

It should not form part of the beneficiary's estate but it can.

Its also complicated whether or not creditors have any right to claim it.

I will see if i can dig up some of my old notes re trusts etc..

just read your post again

if the policy went to the wife it would have likely been a bog standard will trust in which case the creditors should have access to funds.

your young apprentice is right

Hello d13phe...hows things since the end of the NFL Sad

Old notes???

Im not sure if this guy is right...we found a signed letter/agreement which states the beneficiary would receive it...also a CAB letter saying it shouldnt form any part of an estate..surely a bog standard trust will should still stand..
