Section 141 - Transferees(a) General.-The liability, at law or in equity, of a transferee of property of a taxpayer for any tax, additions to tax, penalty or interest due the director of finance under this title, shall be assessed, paid, and collected in the same manner and subject to the same provisions and limitations as in the case of the tax to which the liability relates, except that the period of limitations for assessment against the transferee shall be extended by one year for each successive transfer, in order, from the original taxpayer to the transferee involved, but not by more than three years in the aggregate. The term "transferee" includes donee, heir, legatee, devisee and distributee.(b) Exceptions.- (1)If before the expiration of the period of limitations for assessment of liability of the transferee, a claim has been filed by the director of finance in any court against the original taxpayer or the last preceding transferee based upon the liability of the original taxpayer, then the period of limitation for assessment of liability of the transferee shall in no event expire prior to one year after such claim has been finally allowed, disallowed or otherwise disposed of.(2) If, before the expiration of the time prescribed in subdivision (a) or the immediately preceding paragraph of this subdivision for the assessment of the liability, the director of finance and the transferee have both consented in writing to its assessment after such time, the liability may be assessed at any time prior to the expiration of the period agreed upon. The period so agreed upon may be extended by subsequent agreements in writing made before the expiration of the period previously agreed upon. For the purpose of determining the period of limitation on credit or refund to the transferee of overpayments of tax made by such transferee or overpayments of tax made by the transferor as to which the transferee is legally entitled to credit or refund, such agreement and any extension thereof shall be deemed an agreement and extension thereof referred to in subdivision (b) of section one hundred thirty-five. If the agreement is executed after the expiration of the period of limitation for assessment against the original taxpayer, then in applying the limitations under subdivision (b) of section e hundred thirty-five on the amount of the credit or refund, the periods specified in subdivision (a) of section one hundred thirty-five shall be increased by the period from the date of such expiration to the date of the agreement.(c) Deceased transferor.-If any person is deceased, the period of limitation for assessment against him shall be the period that would be in effect if he had lived.(d) Evidence.-Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision (e) of section one hundred forty-five the director of finance shall use his powers to make available to the transferee evidence necessary to enable the transferee to determine the liability of the original taxpayer and of any preceding transferees, but without undue hardship to the original taxpayer or preceding transferee.
