I don’t see the big deal. Is this the first time somebody who owned a bunch of cars died? They’ll have an auction, and the state and the lawyers will get all the money. Happens all the time.
But but but.....tbis time it’s “very unusual”.
That is absolutely not what happens.
The article states, and I know it to
Be true, that the state does not get
The money except that the state makes
A claim against an estate is if the
Deceased was a Media-Cal recipient.
Then a percentage of what the state
Paid in benefits is taken. The remainder
Goes to the heirs. If there is no will
The next of kin is the recipient.
He collected a lot of stuff and made some promises, but it’s not all included in a legal will, so there will be some litigation.
No kidding. A buddy of mine had an "auto repair" business that basically consisted of a large shed and a lot overgrown with weeds and a few dozen non-running vehicles in various stages of decomposition.
"Businesses" such as this can be found virtually everywhere across the country.
I use "business" in quotations because my buddy didn't make much money fixing cars. Most of his work days were spent sitting in his shed smoking weed.
