# Deceased Persons # Held Liable Same # As Those Living Estates of deceased persons have the same liability with regard to responsibility for ownership of stock in banks as living persons, the supreme court held in the case of L. R. Baird as receiver of the Clyde State Bank vs. C. B. McMillan as executor of the will of James Balfour, appealed by the defendant from the district court of Burleigh county. The question involved was whether or not the estate of a deceased person who had been a shareholder in the state bank could be held liable for an assessment on account of a super-added statutory liability, where the bank fails after the death of the shareholder and where the claim was not filed or allowed in probate court.
