Accordingly, Pittsburgh National Bank, guardia of the estate of this minor, was directed to file an interim accounting. The guardian's first and partial account shows a net balance in this estate as of October 24, 1969 of Eleven Thousand Two Hundred Seventy-six and 87/100 ($11, 276. 87) Dollars. When this account was prerented for audit on March 16, 1970, Melvin B. Bc:ssi, Esquire, appeared on behalf of Margaret Elizabeth Smith and contested the validity of the Commonwealth's claim against this fund. Essentially, the record shows that this fund in the guardian's ace-· ount is the product of a settlement obtained in a personal injury law suit. Margaret Elizabeth Smith was injured on September 6, 1958 in a motor boat accident. On February 29_. 1960 this court approved the settlement of her claims arising from this accident; this proceeding is indexed at .~:-.!7 May Term, 1959 A.~ The Commonwealth has provided public assistance· in the form of aid to dependent children for the benefit of this minor to her parents., Alfred E. Smith and Yola G. Smith. Th~ periods of this assistance are August 6., 1959., to December 12., 1964 and September 24., 1968 to date. The total amount of the Commonwealth's claim., as shown by the certified pro- bate of account as of March 16., 1970., was Two Thousand Seven Hund- red Fifty and 04/100 ($2., 750. 04) Dollars. Argument I. THE BASIS FOR THE COMMONWEALTH'S CLAIM FOR REIMBURSEMENT IS THE PENNSYLVANIA SUPPORT LAW. The Commonwealth grounds its claim that it is entitled to reim- bursement out of this fund in the guardian's account on the S,upport law., Act of June 24., 1937., P. L. 2045., as amended., 62 P. S. Section 1971-77. Section 4 of this law provides the substantive basis of the Commonwealth's right of reimbursement from property of persons liable for expenses incurred for support and assistance. It states: (T) he real and personal property of any person shall be liable for the expenses of his support., maintenance 1 assi- stance and burial., and for the expenses of the suppport., maintenance., assistance and burial of the spouse and un- emancipated minor children of such property owner., in- curred by any public body or public agency., if such pro- perty was owned during the time such expenses were in- curred., or if a right or cause of action existed during tlE time suGh expenses were incurred from which the ownership of such property resulted ..... 62 P. S. Section 1974 (1). Thus., the two requirements for subjectin either real or personal property to such liability are that (1) That the expenses of the support or maintenance were incurred by public body or public agency and (2) that such property was owned furing the time such expenses were incurred or that a right or cause of action existed during the time such expenses were incurred., from which the owner- ship of such property resulted. The Commonwealth asserts that both -2-' ! requirements are satisfied in the instant case. II. PROPER JURISDICTION OF THIS PROCEEDING IS IN THE ORPHANS' COURT DIVISION OF THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF WASHINGTON COUNTY. • 1 ' 1 It is well settled that the jurisdiction of the Orphans' Court Divisio of the Court of Common Pleas en:com,pa's:s:e:-s the Commonwealth's claim in this case. Moreover, since 1832 it has been the law that the Or- phans' Court has exclusive jurisdiction of the estates of minors, of the settlement of the accounts of their guardians and of all questions of allowances for maintenance. Johnstone v. Fritz, 159 Pa. 378 (1893); accord EBtate of Evelyn Rosemary~ers, a minor, 45 Wash- ington County Reports 94, 35 D. & C. 2d 476 (1964). Even when a r . ~-v support grant is made to the moth~ ignorance of ~he fact that assistance to the children is unnecessary,,' the Commonwealth may re- cover out of the property of the children the amount which it has thus expended. Reiver's Estate, 343 Pa. 137 (1941); See also Stoner Estate, 358 Pa. 252 (1948) (Liability of Estate of Relative for Support of Indi- gents). III. THE COMMONWEA.;LTH HAS SUBMITTED PROPER EVIDENCE TO PROVE ITS CLAIM OF $2, 750. 04. The Commonwealth submits that the introduction of the notarized probate of account showing assistance in the form of aid to dependent children to Margaret Elizabeth Smith, a minor, is sufficient proof of its claim of +wo Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty and 04/100 ($2, 750.0 Dollars. See Reiver' s Estate Supra. No problem of prorating assistanc benefits among several children or parents is present in this case. IV. THE AMOUNTS IN THE ESTATE OF MARGARET ELIZABETH SMITH ARE SUFFICIENT TO PAY THE CLAIM OF THE COMMONWEALTH. The crux of the argument of the attorney for the minor's estate -3- ' ' . "J ' ~ I • --· is that additional operation and medical expenses from plastic surgery may be required in the future; and that it is therefore inequitable to deplete this estate to reimburse the Commonwealth1 s claim. Neither medical testimony nor doctors 1 statements were introduced to show the likelihood of such rurgery in the m~ar future. The impact of this argu- ment, moreover, is diminished significantly by the fact that almost twelve (12) years have elapsed since the date of the injury this minor received, and no corrective surgery has been initiated in the interim. The Commonwealth recognizes the inherent power of the Orphans 1 Court Division to preserve and protect a minor's estate so that it will not become exhausted before the minor reaches her majority. Estate of Evelyn Rosemary Akers, Supra. at 98. The claimant respectfully rubmits, however, that both the absence of medical testimony corro- borating the assertion of the minor's counsel and the amount of money in this estate militate;~ strongly in favor of the Commonwealth's posi- tion. Even if the Commonwealth's claim is admitted and paid, there will still be a balance in this estate of Eight · Thousand Five Hundred Tw:enty-six and 83/100 ($8, 526. 83) Dollars, which the guardian may prudently invest for her benefit. Summary In conclusion, the Commonwealth respectfully submits that under the authority of the Support Law it has sufficiently made out its claim for reimbursement of Two Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty and 04/100 ($2, 750. 04) Dollars from the estate of Margaret Elizabeth Smith, a minor. Secondly, it is submitted that there is insufficient evidence on the records at this point from which the court may conclude addi- tional surgery is required for this minor. Finally, it is submitted that this court should order the Commonwealth's claim to be paid since there will still be a substantial residue in this fund after the -4- fz t I • . -\ ' ._ L , ... :--• payments of the Corrimonwe~lth~ Respectfully submitted, PEACOCK~ KELLER~ YOHE & DAY Dated: April 8, 1970 -5- Commonwealth of PennsylvaniR Department of Public Welfar-e DPA Form 193 -Rev. 7/58 COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSTI.V ANIA ) COUNTY OF ALLEGHENY ) PROBATE OF ACCOUNT On the lOth day of 1-'farch 1 19 70 , before me a Notary Public in and for said county, personally came~-=---:------:-- Anna Cutt , who being duly sworn according to law deposes and saith: That he is an agent and representative of the Department of Public Welfare of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, duly authorized to certify claims for assistance granted to beneficiaries by the said Department of Public Welfare, or by any other agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to which the said Department of Public Welfare is the successor; that there is now due and owing to the said Department of Public Welfare of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by }Jar aret Elizabeth Smith a minor the sum of Two Thousand Seven Hundred Fift & 0 100*-~*' ~D-ol~l,....a_r_s_,..,($...---2,-750.04 ) and that the same represents assistance rendered as follows: Aid to Dependent Children: August 6, 1959 August 12, 1959 to January 9, 1960 January 26, 1960 to April 12, 1961 April 19, 1961 April 26, 1961 to Januar,r 11, 1962 J.anuar,r 24, 1962 Februar,r 9,, 1962 Februar,r 24_, 1962 March 13, 1962 to r1ay 11, 1962 May 25, 196_2. to December 13, 19.62 December 27, 1962 December 2I, 1962 to April 23, 1963 1 @ $26.00 11@ .30.40 30@ 23.70 1 @ 22.60 18 @ 46.30. 1/2 -$1,927.40 -$ _963.:70 1 @ $63.60 1@ . 59.70 1@ 61:20 5 @ 63.:20 1/3 ~ $ 500.50 -$ 166.83 14@ $71.)0 1@ -3.00 9 @ 72.e-0 1/4~ $1,656.40-$ 414.10 J (ower) Affiant further avers that the Department of Pu.btic Welfare of the Common- wealth of Pennsylvania has never received the aforementioned amount, or aey part thereof, directly or indirectly; and that the above account is correctly copied from the books of :original entry, and that the charges therein contained, with their dates, are correct and true as stated.
