If the government has paid benefits on a person's behalf then the government has the right to recoup what it paid after the person's death. If that person owned any property in their own name the government is first in line (like a creditor) to be repaid. For example, your grandmother can't leave her house to you in her will free and clear if the government has been paying for her nursing home and medical care for years. That is the reason people do estate planning and get property out of their names and into trusts. Estate planning must be done years in advance and by a professional with a good reputation and satisfied customers.
