25 Exoneration of trustees in respect of certain powers of
attorney
A trustee acting or paying money in good faith, under or in
pursuance of any power of attorney, shall not be liable for any such
act or payment by reason of the fact that at the time of the payment
or act the person who gave the power of attorney was dead or had
done some act to avoid the power, if this fact was not known to the
trustee at the time of his so acting or paying: Provided that nothing
in this section shall affect the right of any person entitled to the
money against the person to whom the payment is made, and that
the person so entitled shall have the same remedy against the
person to whom the payment is made as he would have had
against the trustee.
