27 Distribution orders
(1) An intestate's spouse or personal representative may apply to the Court for a distribution order.
(2) If, however, the personal representative has given written notice of intention to begin distribution between them under section 26(4) , the application cannot be made more than 30 days after the notice was given.
(3) On an application under this section, the Court may order that the property be distributed between the spouses in any way it considers just and equitable.
(4) If the Court considers it just and equitable to do so, it may allocate the whole of the property to one of the spouses to the exclusion of the other or others.
(5) A distribution order may include conditions.
