§8524 Disposal of remaining assets

Summary

Remaining assets become federal trust property for the Fund and are handled under the rules in this part of the law. If the decedent’s estate is being administered, non-money items claimed in time must be given by the estate administrator to the Secretary or their representative, and any distributable money must be paid to the Treasurer of the United States for the Fund. If there is no administration, anyone holding the veteran’s money, legal claims to money, or other property must transfer them to the Secretary on demand and will get a detailed receipt. That transfer fully releases the holder from claims by any administrator, creditor, or next of kin.
