2-7-707. Repayment of public assistance. If any recipient of assistance under statutes of Wyoming governing programs of public welfare dies possessed of money or property and a claim for repayment of such assistance is filed against the estate of the deceased, the court in which the estate is being probated shall order the claim to be paid out of the assets of the estate after the claims in W.S. 2-7-701 (a)(i) through (viii) are paid and satisfied. No claim for repayment of assistance shall be enforced against any property of the estate that may be necessary for the support, maintenance or education of the decedent's surviving spouse, minor child or other dependent.
