Two Suits Filed for Welfare
Liens Against Estates of
Persons Who Were Helped
Two suits were filed in Jones
County Superior Court this week by
County Attorney George Hughes a
gainst the estates of two persons
who during their life bad received
assistance from the Welfare De*
partmemt.
Under existing law, persons who
own real property and who have
no other resources may be eligible
for assistance, but the full amount
of aid that such persons receive
becomes a first lien against that
property upon their death. This
law was passed in 1961 to prevent
children and other heirs from re
ceiving property on the death of
a relative after these same children
and heirs had failed and refused
to help support the person in need
during his or her lifetime.
The estite of Vanderbilt Cade,
which consists of four acres of
l£/i in Tuckahoe Township is one
of the two upon which liens were
filed and in this instance the lien
is for $1,428, representing the full
amount of aid given Cade by the
welfare department.
The other lien was for $1,127 a
gainst a lot in Tuckahoe Township
owned by the late Charlie Hall.
iii order for heirs of either Cade
of Hall to receive this property
they must first pay off the full a
mount of these liens. In the event
they fail to do this the property
will be sold at public auction to
the h'ghest qualified bidder.
