Section 20000-20690 - Disposition of Deceased Nursing Facility Residents Effects

Nursing Facility Administrators must turn over the clothing, valuables and unexpended patient funds of a deceased recipient to the administrator of the estate.

If a recipient dies leaving no will and having no heirs, his property reverts to the State. The Secretary of Delaware's Department of Finance has the responsibility of handling the transfer of the property to the State.
