This case comes before this court for hearing and decision pursuant to an order granting transfer following certification by the appellate department of the superior court that such transfer appears necessary to settle important questions of law. (Cal. Const., art. VI, § 4e; Code Civ. Proe., § 988t; and Cal. Rules of Court, rules 61-65.) The question presented is whether the estate of a deceased husband is liable on a claim submitted by the state for care furnished to the decedent’s deceased wife as a patient in a state mental institution during their joint married life.
