Can a child of 7 Years old buy a property using her deceased mothers life insurance/super payout?

Hi Andrew,

The money from the deceased mothers estate will likely have to be held in trust until the child turns 18.

The executor of the estate may be able to purchase a house with the money for the benefit of the child - if that was deemed to be acting in the best interests of the child, you'd want to speak with an estate planning lawyer regarding this.

James
