My mother is a widow, and I am her only child. She received the ASPA (non-contributory provident benefit). Will I have to repay this assistance when she passes away?

Yes but, only if the net assets of the estate exceed 39,000 euros (art. D.815-4 of the Social Security Code). The net estate assets correspond to the difference between the gross assets, made up of the property, rights and claims belonging to the deceased and the debts for which the latter was liable during her death.
