            TITLE 38--PENSIONS, BONUSES, AND VETERANS' RELIEF
 
                CHAPTER I--DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
 
PART 12_DISPOSITION OF VETERAN'S PERSONAL FUNDS AND 
 
Sec. 12.12  Miscellaneous provisions.

    If it is shown that some person other than the veteran has title to 
property in a veteran's possession at the time of death, nothing 
contained in Sec. Sec. 12.0 to 12.12 shall be construed as prohibiting 
delivery of such property to the owner. A life insurance policy may be 
delivered to the beneficiary therein named if the insured is deceased, 
notwithstanding the veteran has designated a person to whom possession 
of his or her property at the field facility is to be transferred. In no 
case will funds or effects be delivered to a minor, or to an incompetent 
person other than as provided in Sec. 12.9 (a) and (c), but where any 
such person is entitled to title or possession delivery may be made to 
his or her guardian.
