Deceased Parent’s Estate; Child’s Support

If a parent, chargeable with the support of a child, dies leaving it a public charge and leaving an estate sufficient for its support, the Attorney General or guardian appointed, may claim provision for its support from the parent's estate by civil action and for this purpose may have the same remedies as any creditors against the estate and against the heirs, devisees, and next of kin of the parent.
