A fixed faraid share paid outright could disqualify a disabled heir from support. Scholars are commonly asked whether the share can be held in this structure; the entitlement is preserved, so it is worth putting to a scholar directly.
In Canadian law
Because the beneficiary has no fixed entitlement, the trust assets are generally not counted against provincial disability benefits such as ODSP.
