74B Persons liable for waste of deceased estate
If a person (the relevant person) has, as the personal representative
of a deceased person or as the executor in his or her own wrong of the
will of a deceased person, wasted or converted to his or her own use
any part of the estate of the deceased person, then, on the death of the
relevant person, the personal representative of the relevant person is,
to the extent of the available assets of the relevant person, liable and
chargeable in relation to that waste or conversion in the same way as
the relevant person would have been if the relevant person has not
died.
