2005 Minnesota Statutes - 549.14 — Chargeable on estate or fund.

     549.14 Chargeable on estate or fund.  


    In an action prosecuted or defended by an executor, 
 administrator, trustee of an express trust, or person expressly 
 authorized by statute, costs and disbursements may be recovered 
 as in an action by and against a person prosecuting or defending 
 in the person's own right.  The same shall be made chargeable 
 only upon the estate, fund, or party represented, unless the 
 court shall direct the same to be paid by the plaintiff or 
 defendant personally, for mismanagement or bad faith in the 
 action; but no costs or disbursements are recoverable against an 
 executor or administrator unless it appears that the demand was 
 first presented to the executor or administrator, verified by 
 oath, and payment demanded.
