§ 3a:34-11.
If, in a proceeding for the sale of real estate under authority of this chapter, it
shall appear to the satisfaction of the court that the person holding a life estate
or a vested estate of any nature therein, created by deed or will, is the widow of
the person creating the same, and that the creation of such estate was for her maintenance
and support, and that either (a) such real estate consists of vacant lands which have
become unproductive, or (b) the buildings thereon are old and dilapidated so that
they cease to have rental value, or (c) the estate, productive at the time of making
such deed or will, should, because of a fire destroying the buildings or other cause,
become partially or wholly unproductive, the life tenant or person holding the vested
estate shall not be liable for the payment of taxes, assessments and water rents chargeable
against the real estate, unless the income from the property was adequate both for
the support of the widow and the payment of such charges, but such charges shall be
liens upon the real estate ordered to be sold and shall be paid out of the proceeds
arising from such sale.
