##### 60. Advances for maintenance etc. may be made conditionally (1) Where a power to pay or apply any property for the maintenance, education, advancement or benefit of any person or for any one or more of those purposes is vested in a trustee, the trustee when exercising the power shall have, and be deemed always to have had, authority to impose on the person any condition, whether as to repayment, payment of interest, giving security, or otherwise; and at any time after imposing any such condition, the trustee may, either wholly or in part, waive the condition or release any obligation undertaken or any security given by reason of the condition. (2) In determining the amount or value of the property that a trustee, who has imposed a condition pursuant to subsection (1), may pay or apply in exercise of his powers in that regard, any money repaid to the trustee or recovered by him shall be deemed not to have been so paid or applied by the trustee. (3) Nothing in this section imposes upon a trustee any obligation to impose any condition pursuant to subsection (1); and a trustee, when imposing any condition as to giving security, shall not be affected by any restrictions upon the investment of trust funds, whether imposed by this Act or by any rule of law or by the trust instrument (if any). (4) A trustee is not liable for any loss which may be incurred in respect of any money that is paid or applied under this section, whether the loss arises through failure to take security, through the security being insufficient, through failure to take action for its protection, through the release or abandonment of the security without payment, or from any other cause.
