Statute text

The Legislature recognizes that certain property and rights owned by a recipient, including a recipient of aid to families with dependent children, are of negligible value in enabling the recipient to meet his or her present needs, and should not be classified as available resources of the recipient. It is the purpose of this section to designate such property and rights. Resources available to a recipient, including a recipient of aid to families with dependent children shall not include all of the following:

(a)Money or securities placed in an irrevocable trust for funeral, cremation, or interment expenses with any of the trustees mentioned in Section 7736 of the Business and Professions Code or Section 8775 of the Health and Safety Code.

(b)Money or securities placed in an irrevocable trust created by a deposit in an insured savings institution made by one person of his or her own money in his or her own name as trustee for a funeral director to provide payment for funeral services rendered by the funeral director upon the depositor’s death.
