231 Consents to execution of trust for sale etc
(1) If the consent of 3 or more people is required by a disposition for the
execution of a trust for sale of property, or the exercise of a power of
sale of property under a trust, then, for a purchaser, the consent of any
2 of those people to the execution of the trust or the exercise of the
power or to the exercise of any statutory or other powers vested in the
trustees is enough.
(2) If a person whose consent is required by a disposition for the
execution of a trust for sale of property, or the exercise of a power of
sale of property under a trust, is a person with a legal disability, the
person’s consent is, for a purchaser, taken not to be required.
(3) However, for the disposition mentioned in subsection (2), the trustees
must get the consent of—
(a) if the person is a child—the parent or testamentary or other
guardian of the child; or
(b) if the person is a person with a mental disability—the manager
of the person’s property under the Guardianship and
Management of Property Act 1991; or
(c) if there is no parent, guardian or manager—the Supreme Court.
