1871 to 1796 to $S.91 in 1907. And it is

To Whom 1t May Concern

Chapter s4s Laws of 1902 known as the

conditions imposes lien upon real estate
which passes to other persons by reason OF the
interstate laws or by the will of testate dece-
dents and against real estate that is conveyed
by deed in contemplation of the death OF the
owner a.,
The law points out o method whereby, the
value of the shares of the estate OF q dece-
dent is to be ascertained and the tax habilty
against the shares is to be determined IN no
other way than by having 1t ascertalned
legally, as by law required whether there is
or Is not a liability upon real estate passing as
aforesaid, can the title of record OF such real
estate be made clear and perfect
To abstractors of title it is earnestly sugges-
ted that In order to avoid liability attaching TO
them by reason of omissions In showing the
lien imposed by law, they should certify no
abstracts until the question of liability or nom
liability of the real estate to the tax is deter
mined by the authorities who are charged
with that duty. Purchasers OF real estate
title to which has passed by reason OF death
OF the former owner, are also cautioned TO
have the question of title carefully investi-
gated before the complete transactions as by
not doing so they may incur liability when
they must themselves discharge or nave

possibly cost to themselves.
