Invalidity pension and inheritance

[jude de lourde]

After the sale of my parents house my share will be €70k , i am on invalidity pension , how would the inheritance affect my invalidity.
I would like to pay for my funeral in advance and give my son and wife money towards a mortgage deposit and keep some savings

 

[Protocol]

IP is a social insurance benefit.

It is not social assistance.

It is not means-tested.

IP is unaffected by any other income or assets.
