What will happen to someones financial asset's if they where deported?

I was wondering if any one knows the answer to this question or knows where I can get an answer. What would happen to the money in their bank account and any cars of land that they own. What if they are not married but do have children would it go to the children?


Actually, it is possible for the government to seize all assets of a deported illegal alien or a deported criminal alien as restitution for detention & deportation costs, and for any court-ordered restitution, back taxes, etc, they owe. For example, if they were working illegally, IRS can seize everything they own for back taxes and for penalties for tax evasion/tax fraud.

Otherwise, the property still belongs to the person and they can arrange for a wire transfer to their bank account in their own country, arrange with a realtor to sell property, give an attorney power of attorney to close, and proceeds of sale would be wired to their bank account. Children cannot get their hands on a thing unless the person is deceased, and the will is properly probated and distributed to heirs as per the will.
