Text

Where the landowner in a water conservancy district, organized under this article, is
under disability by reason of infancy, insanity, or otherwise, or lands are held under
administration, executorship, guardianship, conservatorship, trusteeship,
receivership, or other similar proceeding, the administrator, executor, guardian,
conservator, trustee, receiver, or other like officer shall be considered the
landowner for all purposes within this article; and, when authorized by the court
having jurisdiction of the estate or lands, such administrator, executor, guardian,
conservator, trustee, receiver, or other like officer may petition for an allotment of
water in such quantity as determined by such court as will, together with the
present supply of water for irrigation purposes, make an adequate supply for the
irrigation of such lands; or, in the event such administrator, executor, guardian,
conservator, trustee, receiver, or other like officer has, prior to February 28, 1939,
petitioned for a supply of water for irrigation of lands so held, the court having
jurisdiction of the estate or lands may ratify or confirm the petition for such
quantity of water as it may determine will make an adequate supply for the
irrigation of such lands, and such petition so made and authorized or ratified and
confirmed shall have the same effect and be binding upon all parties interested in
such lands to the same extent as though made by a landowner while not under
disability.
