Following is the text of Section 87 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001:

87. Deceased individuals.— (1) The legal representative of a deceased individual shall be liable for —

(a) any tax that the individual would have become liable for if the individual had not died; and

(2) The liability of a legal representative under this section shall be limited to the extent to which the deceased’s estate is capable of meeting the liability.

(2A) The liability under this Ordinance shall be the first charge on the deceased’s estate.

(3) For the purpose of this Ordinance, —

(a) any proceeding taken under this Ordinance against the deceased before his or her death shall be treated as taken against the legal representative and may be continued against the legal representative from the stage at which the proceeding stood on the date of the deceased’s death; and

(b) any proceeding which could have been taken under this Ordinance against the deceased if the deceased had survived may be taken against the legal representative of the deceased.
