Estate administration
24Protection of persons acquiring title
1
This section applies where a person, in good faith and for value (whether by purchase or otherwise)—
a
acquires property which has vested, by virtue of confirmation, in an executor, and
b
acquires title to that property directly or indirectly—
i
from the executor, or
ii
from a person (“A”) who derived title directly from the executor.
2
It is not a ground of challenge to the title—
a
that the confirmation is reducible or has been reduced,
b
that the property was distributed in accordance with a will which, by virtue of section 3, has been rectified after distribution, or
c
where the title was acquired from A, that it should not have been transferred to A.
