NO TAX PAID, NO TITLE.
inheritance Law IL Strict ON Records
Of tho County.

. b n
Abilene abstractors have received
notice that unless the inheritance
tax on an estate 10 paid the title
Is not good, according to the state
tax commission. That body is send
Ing out a warning to all title ex-
aminers and abstractors to be very
careful about reporting q good title
to property upon which the tax has
not been paid. Several instances
have come to the notice Of the COM
mission where abstractors did not
show q notation on the abstract Of
the inheritance tax against the pro-
perty had not been paid,
It Is known that several sales Of
property from heirs Of large estates
we're made before the tax had been
paid and that the heirs never did
pay. The new owner VIII have to
pay the tax which should have been
paid by the heirs. The inheritance
tax law which was passed two years
age provides that the tax is a lien
against the property Of an estate
and that the state may take the
property II necessary to secure the
payment Of the tax.
While there has not been single
suit brought to test the law there
have been many attempts to evade
the payment Of the tax by the heirs
III various estates. The tax 10 not
payable unless each heir receives
property worth $4,000 or over. Be-
cause Of the fact that the law has
been in effect only two years the
men who make up the abstracts Of
titles to real property have paid
very little attention to 1t. Some Of
them have, but most Of them have
not.
The abstractors are bonded to
show every transfer and possible lien
against the property for which they
make up the title and IL they do not
chow whether or not the inheritance
tax is paid the purchaser Of the
property may be forced to pay the
tax. However, he has the right to
come back at the abstractor for re-
endorsement because the showing
was not properly noted upon the abb
stract. In the case Of a bonded abb
stractor 1t is likely that the pur-
chaser would be able to collect. No
such case has been brought to date.
