The Agency Director may cause a written notice to be sent to all responsible relatives of an applicant for admission, which notice shall inform them of their legal liability for the care of such applicant. Upon the request of the Agency Director the responsible relatives shall file within ten (10) days if living in the County, or within thirty (30) days if living elsewhere, under penalty of perjury a form supplying the information essential to the determination of the relatives' liability for support of an applicant or recipient of aid. The Agency Director may authorize and direct any County officers or employees personally to visit those responsible relatives living in the County and to collect from such relatives reimbursement for all care given by the County. Execution of liens may be required of responsible relatives as a condition of withholding legal action, except that no lien shall be taken against the home or other property of any relative, other than a parent of a minor or a spouse, liable for the support of a person receiving County aid or relief.
