64.420 Collection of fees after death of officer. (1) Except as otherwise provided in KRS 64.050, if any officer dies before making out a fee-bill or collecting his fees, his deputy, or, if none, his personal representative,
may, within two (2) years after the services were rendered, make out and sign a fee-
bill therefor, and may list the fee-bill in due time for collection with the proper
officer, and the fee-bill shall be collectible and distrainable as if issued by the
deceased officer in his lifetime. (2) Any person against whom an illegal fee-bill is made by a deputy or personal representative shall be entitled to the same remedies against such deputy or personal
representative as are given against an officer. (3) If any person against whom a fee-bill is issued under this section makes an affidavit that the fee was paid to the officer in his lifetime, and produces the affidavit to the
officer having the fee-bill for collection, such officer shall forthwith return the fee-
bill and affidavit to the person who issued it, and the same shall thereafter be
collectible by action only, as other debts. History: Amended 1962 Ky. Acts ch. 210, sec. 11. -- Recodified 1942 Ky. Acts ch. 208, sec. 1, effective October 1, 1942, from Ky. Stat. sec. 1750.
