2.—(1) In the following dispositions, namely—
(a)dispositions inter vivos made after the commencement of this paragraph; and
(b)dispositions by will where the will is made after the commencement of this paragraph,
references (whether express or implied) to any relationship between two persons shall be construed in accordance with Article 155.
(2) The use, without more, of the word “heir” or “heirs” or any expression which is used to create an entailed interest in real or personal property does not show a contrary intention for the purposes of Article 155 as applied by sub-paragraph (1).
(3) In relation to the dispositions mentioned in sub-paragraph (1), section 34 of the Trustee Act (Northern Ireland) 1958(1) (which specifies the trust implied by a direction that income is to be held on protective trusts for the benefit of any person) shall have effect as if any reference (however expressed) to any relationship between two persons were construed in accordance with Article 155.
(4) Where under any disposition of real or personal property, any interest in such property is limited (whether subject to any preceding limitation or charge or not) in such a way that it would, apart from this paragraph, devolve (as nearly as the law permits) along with a dignity or title of honour, then—
(a)whether or not the disposition contains an express reference to the dignity or title of honour; and
(b)whether or not the property or some interest in the property may in some event become severed from it,
nothing in this paragraph shall operate to sever the property or any interest in it from the dignity or title, but the property or interest shall devolve in all respects as if this paragraph had not come into operation.
(5) This paragraph is without prejudice to Article 42 of the Adoption Order (construction of dispositions in cases of adoption).
(6) In this paragraph “disposition” means a disposition, including an oral disposition, of real or personal property whether inter vivos or by will.
(7) Notwithstanding any rule of law, a disposition made by will executed before the date on which this paragraph comes into operation shall not be treated for the purposes of this paragraph as made on or after that date by reason only that the will is confirmed by a codicil executed on or after that date.
