47Distribution of property by trustee or personal

47 Distribution of property by trustee or personal representative (1) Despite any other provision of this Act, a trustee or personal representative may, subject to this section, convey, transfer or distribute property to or among the persons appearing to be entitled to the property without having ascertained whether or not an adoption order has been made as a consequence of which a person is or is not entitled to an interest in the property. (2) A trustee or personal representative conveying, transferring or distributing property as mentioned in subsection (1) must not be liable to a person claiming directly or indirectly because of the making of an adoption order unless the trustee or personal representative had notice of the claim before the time of the conveyance, transfer or distribution. (3) Nothing in this section prejudices the right of a person to follow property into the hands of a person, other than a bona fide purchaser for value without notice, who has received it.
