(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.
