(a) Nothing in this chapter limits the rights of the heirs or devisees of the deceased spouse. Payment of a decedent’s compensation pursuant to this chapter does not preclude later proceedings for administration of the decedent’s estate.

(b) Any person to whom payment is made under this chapter is answerable and accountable therefor to the personal representative of the decedent’s estate and is liable for the amount of the payment to any other person having a superior right to the payment received. In addition to any other liability the person has under this section, a person who fraudulently secures a payment under this chapter is liable to a person having a superior right to the payment for three times the amount of the payment.

(Enacted by Stats. 1990, Ch. 79.)
