Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Virginia
proceeds from will
My mother's brother died in 12-07 and named her as one of his beneficiaries in his will. She is on Medicaid. Will she be able to accept the proceeds of the sell of his property? Or will it go to the government? If so, is there a way for her to keep the money by signing her share over to me or another one named in the will?

Re: proceeds from will
Not enough relevant information provided in this question, including the value of the bequest and other relevant information having to do with your mother's medicaid elgibility criteria, including her Long Term Care Resource Assessment (LTCRA), which are needed to provide an answer that may be reasonably reliable.
