However. large estates consisting of VA benefits are evidently still enriching distant relatives who may have had very little to do with the veteran and were not affected by his service to the United States." The VA inspector general conducted an audit of the VAs fiduciary program and recommended legislation to limit compensation payments. The IG found numerous instances of substantial estates being inherited by distant relatives. An incompetent veteran of World War I emigrated from Lithuania in 1907 and died in 1978. leaving an estate of $87.900. of which $77.800 came from VA benefits. The estate went to six nieces and nephews living in the Soviet Union. There are many other examples like that.
