Questão jurídica principal
Whether the heirs could be ordered to reimburse the deceased recipient's social assistance under cantonal law rather than federal family-support rules
Decisão extraída
Yes. Cantonal social welfare law may require reimbursement of public social assistance from the estate/heirs; the federal Civil Code support duty does not govern this public-law reimbursement claim.
Fundamentação extraída
The reimbursement claim concerns repayment of public funds, not support owed by relatives from their own assets. Cantons may regulate when and how publicly granted social assistance is recoverable from a former recipient or heirs.
