This article establishes that maintenance obligation, as a consequence of its highly personal character, is non-transferable. However this causes a problem that emerges from the fact that, although the Civil Code clearly states, in its article 334, that the right to maintenance cannot be transmitted due to death, there is no similar rule that solves whether the maintenance obligation is transferable or not. Thus, it becomes necessary to resolve this issue whenever the determination of the transferable or non-transferable nature of the maintenance obligation directly affects the succession of the person obliged to grant maintenance by a court statement or a jurisdictional equivalent.su carácter personalísimo, es intransmisible. El problema surge del hecho que, si bien el Código Civil en su artículo 334 expresa claramente que el derecho de alimentos no puede transmitirse por causa de muerte, no existe una norma semejante que resuelva si la obligación alimenticia es o no transmisible, por lo que es necesario que esta cuestión sea resuelta, toda vez que la determinación de la naturaleza transmisible o intransmisible de la obligación alimenticia incide directamente en la sucesión del obligado a otorgar alimentos por una sentencia judicial o un equivalente jurisdiccional.
