VA Vesting Claims
The personal estates of veterans who die intestate and without
heirs or next of
kin while being
furnished care and treatment by the VA in government facilities
vest in the
United States for the
benefit of the General Post Fund, regardless of the source of such
personalty.
See 38
U.S.C. § 8520; United States v. State of California, 143
F. Supp. 957
(N.D. Cal.
1956). The veteran's application for care under such circumstances
includes a
contractual
provision consistent with the statute. |
