Article 1. In General of California Water Code >> Division 21. >> Part 10. >> Chapter 1. >> Article 1.

The boundaries of a district may be changed and tracts of land may be excluded therefrom, in the manner prescribed in this chapter. Neither such change of the boundaries of the district nor such exclusion of lands from the district shall impair or affect its organization, or its right in or to property, or any of its rights or privileges of whatever kind or nature; nor shall it affect, impair, or discharge any contract, obligation, lien, or charge for or upon which the district was or may become liable or chargeable, had such change of its boundaries not been made, or had not such land been excluded from the district.

A guardian, executor, or an administrator of an estate, who is appointed as such under the laws of this state, and who, as such guardian, executor, or administrator, is entitled to the possession of the lands belonging to the estate which he represents, may, on behalf of his ward or the estate which he represents, upon being authorized by the proper court, sign and acknowledge a petition for exclusion of lands, and may show cause, as provided in this chapter, why the boundaries of the district should not be changed.
