14 Duration of trust or power to sell (1) Where the instrument creating a power to sell property does not expressly limit the duration of the power, then, notwithstanding any lapse of time or that all the beneficiaries are absolutely entitled to the property in fee-simple or full ownership in possession and are free of any incapacity, the trustee may, if so requested in writing by any beneficiary, sell the property, and shall be deemed to be a trustee for sale accordingly; but in all other respects the authority conferred by this section shall be subject to any restrictions to which the power created by the instrument is subject. (2) A purchaser of the property or the Registrar of Titles or other person registering or certifying title shall not be concerned to inquire whether the property was sold under the authority conferred by this section. (3) Nothing in this section shall affect any trust or power to sell which is for the time being in existence under the instrument creating the power. No. 5770 s. 15.
