§ (1.) Where real estate is vested in any person without right of survivorship to any other person, it shall, on his death, notwithstanding any testamentary disposition, devolve to and become vested in his personal representatives or representative from time to time as if it were a chattel real vesting in them or him.
§ (2.) This section shall apply to any real estate over which a person executes by will a general power of appointment, as if it were real estate vested in him.
§ (3.) Probate and letters of administration may be granted in respect of real estate only, although there is no personal estate.
§ (4.) The expression "real estate," in this part of this Act, shall not be deemed to include land of copyhold tenure or customary freehold in any case in which an admission or any act by the lord of the manor is necessary to perfect the title of a purchaser from the customary tenant.
§ (5.) This section applies only in cases of death after the commencement of this Act.
§ Amendments made: In Sub-section (1) after "without" insert "a"; leave out "of survivorship to" and insert "in"; after "person" insert "to take by survivorship."—(Mr. Radcliffe Cooke.)
