Kentucky Revised Statutes Title VIII. Offices and Officers § 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.
