Section 29

With a view to the conveyance to or distribution among the persons entitled to any movable or immovable property, the trustees or personal representatives may give notice by advertisement in the Gazette, and such other similar notices (including notices elsewhere than in Singapore) as would, in any special case, have been directed by a court of competent jurisdiction in an action for administration, of their intention to make the conveyance or distribution and requiring any person interested to send to the trustees or personal representatives within the time, being at least 2 months, fixed in the notice or, where more than one notice is given, in the last of the notices, particulars of the person’s claim in respect of the property or any part of the property to which the notice relates.

At the expiry of the time fixed by the notice, the trustees or personal representatives may convey or distribute the property or any part of the property to which the notice relates, to or among the persons entitled to the property, having regard only to the claims whether formal or not, of which the trustees or personal representatives then had notice and shall not, as respects the property so conveyed or distributed, be liable to any person of whose claim the trustees or personal representatives have not had notice at the time of conveyance or distribution.

Nothing in this section —

This section applies despite anything to the contrary in the will or other instrument (if any) creating the trust.
