Hi folks, I am wondering if anyone can help me with a state pension question. I currently receive a non-contributory state pension. My mother died and left me part of her estate which turned out be worth around €300k to me personally. I am 71, own my own house and am comfortable with my state pension and medical card. This now puts it all in jeopardy. I plan on leaving this money to my children in my will. So, what I want to know is...
If I divide this money and give it to my 4 children now (which leaves me with my previous €20k in savings), can I legally continue to collect my non contributory state pension and keep my medical card?
I have some medical issues and I use my card a lot. If I lost it, I dont have health insurance and given the nature of my health problems, I assume the premiums for it would be very high.
