Reassessment notices issued to deceased assessees are invalid because the legal-representative provisions permit either continuation of proceedings started during the assessee's lifetime or fresh proceedings directly against the legal representative; they do not permit a notice to be issued in the deceased person's name and later continued against an heir.
