§ 41-3-750 — Allotment of water to landowner under disability

Where the landowner in a water conservancy district, organized
under this act 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 the terms of this act, 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 heretofore petitioned for a
supply of water for irrigation of lands so held as aforesaid,
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 as aforesaid 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.
