La. R.S. 47:282 — Collection from transferee or fiduciary; procedure

The liability, at law or in equity, of a transferee of property of a taxpayer, in respect of the tax (including interest, additional amounts, and additions to the tax provided by law) imposed upon the taxpayer by this Chapter, or the liability, at law or in equity, of a fiduciary in respect of a payment of any such tax from the estate of the taxpayer, shall be assessed, collected, and paid in the same manner and subject to the same provisions and limitations as in the case of the collection directly from the taxpayer.
In the absence of notice to the collector under R.S. 47:283B of the existence of a fiduciary relationship, notice of liability enforceable under this Section in respect of a tax imposed by this Chapter, if mailed to the person subject to the liability at his last known address, shall be sufficient for the purpose of this Chapter, even if such person is deceased, or is under legal disability, or in the case of a corporation, has terminated its existence.
As used in this Section, the term "transferee" includes heir, legatee, devisee, and distributee.
