There was no other asets thus the assumption was there was nothing to probate. The $25,000 names a beneficiary. Does the money go to the beneficiary or does it go to Medicaid? (As I understand it he claimed less than $1,000 in assets at the time he was approved for Medicaid). If it goes to medicaid, what is the process to make this payment? Is there any liability of having this insurance at the time of him going onto medicaid. I don't believe there was any attempt on his part to defraud the Government since he was developmentally disabled and had no recollection of ever having a policy. Your comments are appreciated

The Medicaid can take away the amount from the life insurance policy in order to recover their dues. I would suggest you to contact an attorney who is an expert in the Medicaid laws of your state. He will be the best to help you in this matter. Sussane
