Acting in good faith, the public trustee shall not be liable for accepting as correct and acting upon any written statement or declaration by any person whom the public trustee believes to be trustworthy, as to any birth, death, marriage or other matter of pedigree or relationship, or other matter of fact, upon which the title to any estate or any part thereof may depend.
