Key legal question
Whether the plaintiff's lidlohn claims against the mother could be treated as estate liabilities after her death.
Extracted holding
The mother was the household head and thus the debtor of the lidlohn claims; after her death the claims became estate debts payable by the heirs.
Extracted reasoning
A lidlohn claim under Art. 334 ZGB presupposes a common household under a family head. The surviving mother ran the farm, collected its income, paid bills, and distributed pocket money, so she was the family head even without sole ownership.
