Can kids access funds to use for cremation or does Medicaid take your money?

Was the person on Medicaid for health or in home services? With in home sevices, just like Longterm care in a NH, most states only allow this person to have 2k in assets. At time of death that 2k becomes part of the persons estate. If the acct has a POD (pay on death ) beneficiary/ies the money goes directly to the beneficiary/ies. Otherwise it gets dispersed according to probate. If under a certain amount of money, my state its 20k, you don't need to probate an estate. The money can be split between the children.

Not sure how Medical Medicaid would be. My nephew is allowed more than 2k in his acct but he is on Workbility Medicaid.

If the person has a home, that changes things. Medicaid can recover from the sale of a home after the recipient passes. They will put a lien on the house.
