43 Effect of revocation of grant
(1) Where a grant of probate or administration has been revoked under this Act:
(a) the executor or administrator to whom the grant was made shall account to the Court for the property that he or she has received, or that has vested in him or her, as such executor or administrator, and the Court may make such orders as it thinks fit with respect to the disposal by the executor or administrator of so much of that property as remains in his or her hands;
(b) the executor or administrator is not liable in respect of property that he or she has disposed of under the grant in good faith before the revocation of the grant if he or she complied with the provisions of section 16 in and in relation to the disposing of that property;
(c) the revocation of the grant does not, of its own force, invalidate a disposal of property made by, or to, the executor or administrator before the revocation of the grant;
(d) an action does not lie against the Registrar-General for loss suffered by any person in consequence of the registration of a dealing with land under the provisions of the Land Title Act 2000 being a dealing lawfully made by the executor or administrator before the revocation of the grant; and
the Court may make such vesting orders as it thinks fit.
This section does not affect:
(a) any entitlement of an executor or administrator to commission, or to any protection, indemnity, reimbursement or right under any other provision of this Act; or
(b) the right of a person to follow an asset into the hands of the person to whom it was distributed or who has received it.
