[WSBAPT] Ward of State

[Andrew Hay]

This is a new situation for me, but maybe not for others.

I have an intestate estate where one adult beneficiary (of several) is a ward of the state due to severe brain damage as a child.  He is now in his 70s.  Estate value per heir is $50-$100K

I am opening intestate estate – do we appoint GAL for the ward when the estate is opened, does his share go to the state for his care costs?

Any other issues?
