Service Law - Payment made to a nominee or one of the legal heirs, when there are also other legal heirs left behind, is in trust and the person who receives the payment as a nominee holds the money in trust for all the others. The nomination made by the deceased employee while she was alive only absolves the employer from finding out the different legal heirs for the purpose of making payments apportioning their separate shares. (Para 11)
