268.500 Subsequent owner's privity -- Apportionment of assessment.
(1)
(2)
Any person who acquires title to any property affected by any proceeding
under this chapter, after the filing of the petition for establishment of any district
and the giving of notice thereof by the clerk of the court, shall be deemed privy
to the person owning or in possession under claim of ownership at the time of
filing the petition, and shall be bound by all subsequent proceedings as the
owner at that time would have been bound if he had remained owner of the
property. The property assessed shall in each instance be liable for the
assessment against it, and each installment of any assessment shall be paid
by the owner in possession at the time any installment becomes due.
Any land assessed for benefits in which one or more persons own the life
estate with the remainder to some other person, shall be assessed as any
other land by the appraisers, and the name of the life tenant and the
remainderman reported if known, but the remainderman or reversioner need
not be brought in the proceedings before his interest becomes vested. The
assessment may be paid by either the life tenant or the remainderman, and
when so paid the owner not paying shall be liable to the one who pays the
assessment for such proportion of the amount paid as his interest in the
property bears to the total property assessed according to the life tables at the
time in use in this state. The person who pays shall have, for his own benefit,
the same lien provided for the original assessment, which may be enforced by
action in any court of competent jurisdiction. An owner of any undivided interest
in lands may pay the whole assessment and be entitled to like contribution and
substitution.
