Administration and Probate Act 1929

If a person (the relevant person) has, as the personal representative of a deceased person or as the executor in his or her own wrong of the will of a deceased person, wasted or converted to his or her own use any part of the estate of the deceased person, then, on the death of the relevant person, the personal representative of the relevant person is, to the extent of the available assets of the relevant person, liable and chargeable in relation to that waste or conversion in the same way as the relevant person would have been if the relevant person has not died.
