1. A final account of a personal representative, as defined in section 450.1, shall not be allowed by any court unless the account shows, and the judge of the court finds, that all taxes imposed by this subchapter upon the personal representative, which have become payable, have been paid, and that all taxes which may become due are secured by bond or deposit, or are otherwise secured. The certificate of acquittances of the department of revenue is conclusive as to the payment of the tax to the extent of the acquittance. This subsection does not apply if all property in the estate of a decedent is held in joint tenancy with right of survivorship by husband and wife alone.
