KEYSTONE QUARTERLY

JUNE 2022

Summer is in full swing where friends and family are taking long awaited vacations. Here at Keystone, we’ve been busy since our last newsletter helping clients, celebrating the accomplishments of our attorneys and staff, and enjoying lots of team building and time together (in person!) as a firm. In this issue, we’ll discuss new laws about what Medi-Cal can recover from a recipient’s estate when they pass and the “special circumstances” when an estate beneficiary is permitted to sue on behalf of the estate. Also in this issue, we recognize our Super Lawyers’ Rising Stars and those who are celebrating their first big milestone with Keystone: one-year anniversary, as well as highlighting some of our fun events. Read below to find out what we’ve been up to the past few months.

Keystone devotes its practice to probate, trust and estate litigation and administration. With around 40 employees, we are one of the largest firms in California exclusively dedicated to this practice area.

ARTICLES

When and What Can Medi-Cal Recover for Medi-Cal Reimbursement from a Recipient’s Estate?

In this article, we discuss the Department’s right to Medi-Cal reimbursement and provide a broad overview of how Medi-Cal recovery rules under the current version of Section 14009.5 have changed for individuals who died before versus on or after January 1, 2017.

Beneficiaries Suing on Behalf of a Deceased Person’s Estate — What “Special Circumstances” in California Allow It?

While suing on behalf of a deceased person is usually an action carried out by the personal representative of a decedent’s estate, there are “special circumstances” in California that can enable an estate beneficiary to seek redress on behalf of the estate in lieu of the personal representative.
