RS 2436 - Action to recover amount of tax or deficiency from person interested in estate; time of filing; liability of fiduciary
A. A fiduciary or other person required to pay the tax has a right of action against any person interested in the estate to recover the original amount of the tax apportioned to the person, and any additional amounts based upon the assertion of deficiencies in the amount of the tax, and if the amounts sued for have become uncollectible at the time of the filing of the suit, the tax or the deficiencies shall be equitably apportioned among the other persons interested in the estate and subject to apportionment.
B. This action shall be instituted as an ordinary proceeding. If the action is for the recovery of the original amount of the tax apportioned, it shall be instituted within a reasonable time after the expiration of one year from the date of payment. If the action is for the recovery of a deficiency, it shall be instituted within a reasonable time after the expiration of one year from the date of payment of the deficiency. Unless the action has been timely instituted, the fiduciary or other person required to pay the tax or the deficiency shall not be entitled to reimbursement for any portion of the tax or deficiency which he may have paid or has been required to pay and shall, in addition, be liable to any person interested in the estate for any loss occasioned by the delay.
