Maine Code § 36-178

Priority of tax
Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
Whenever the estate of a deceased person liable for any tax is insufficient to pay all the debts owed
by the decedent or whenever the estate and effects of an absconding, concealed or absent person liable
for any tax are levied upon by process of law, the tax, together with interest attaching thereto, must be
first settled. This section may not be construed to give the State a preference over any recorded lien that
attached prior to the date when the tax became due. [PL 2005, c. 218, §7 (NEW).]
