TRUSTEE ORDINANCE - SECT 50

Effect of vesting order

A vesting order under any of the foregoing provisions shall in the case of a
vesting order consequential on the appointment of a trustee, have the same
effect-

   (a)  as if the persons who before the appointment were the trustees, if
        any, had duly executed all proper conveyances of the land for such
        estate or interest as the court directs; or

   (b)  if there is no such person, or no such person of full capacity, as if
        such person had existed and been of full capacity and had duly
        executed all proper conveyances of the land for such estate or
        interest as the court directs, and shall in every other case have the
        same effect as if the trustee, or other person or description or class
        of persons to whose rights or supposed rights the said provisions
        respectively relate had been an ascertained and existing person of
        full capacity, and had executed a conveyance or release to the effect
        intended by the order. [cf. 1925 c.19 s.49 U.K.]
