- Lien: A claim against real or personal property in satisfaction of a debt.
- Person: means an individual, firm, partnership, association, society, club, corporation, financial institution, estate, trust, business trust, receiver, assignee or any other group or combination acting as a unit, the State or Federal Government or any political subdivision or agency of either government. See Maine Revised Statutes Title 36 Sec. 111
- Tax: means the total amount required to be paid, withheld and paid over or collected and paid over with respect to estimated or actual tax liability under this Title, any credit or reimbursement allowed or paid pursuant to this Title that is recoverable by the assessor and any amount assessed by the assessor pursuant to this Title, including any interest or penalties provided by law. See Maine Revised Statutes Title 36 Sec. 111
Whenever the estate of a deceased person liable for any tax is insufficient to pay all the debts owed by the decedent or whenever the estate and effects of an absconding, concealed or absent person liable for any tax are levied upon by process of law, the tax, together with interest attaching thereto, must be first settled. This section may not be construed to give the State a preference over any recorded lien that attached prior to the date when the tax became due. [PL 2005, c. 218, §7 (NEW).]
