# §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 [§§ 12.0 to 12.12](/cfr/38/12.0..12.12.md) 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 § [12.9 (a)](/cfr/38/12.9.md?p=a) and [(c)](/cfr/38/12.9.md?p=c), but where any such person is entitled to title or possession delivery may be made to his or her guardian.
