Syllabus

<p>TAXES-PAYMENT BY GUARDIAN-BIGHT TO LIEN.</p> <p>Where a guardian, in order to protect lands belonging to her wards, and owned by them as tenants in common with adult persons, pays delinquent taxes thereon from her own funds, such guardian is entitled to a lien against the lands for the amount so paid, even as against the adult owners, since she does not occupy the position of a mere volunteer, but is chargeable with the duty of protecting the interests of her wards.</p>
