VA RIN: 2900-AO41 Publication ID: Fall 2014 
Title: Designee for Patient Personal Property 
Abstract: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its regulation that governs a competent veteran's designation of a person to receive the veteran's funds and personal effects in the event that such veteran were to die while in a VA medical facility. The final rule will eliminate reference to obsolete VA forms, clarify the role of a VA fiduciary for an incompetent veteran-patient, as well as restructure the current regulation for ease of readability.
