Why do you care if SS wants money from some dead guy.


 Because I am his heir

 Is it possible this is medicaid/medicare that is trying to get these funds, and not SSI. Before medicaid/medicare provides things like private nursing or a nursing home, any individuals personal assets need to be exhausted. The only way for this not to happen for instance is for property to be transferred 5 years prior to receiving these services.

To me this sounds like a claw back for the personal aid, which is expected.

    Well I tried..  Didn't say it was breaking any laws to transfer assets out of name...  Good luck.
