An action does not lie against the administrator of the estate of a deceased person by reason of his having distributed the whole or any
part of the estate of the deceased person if the distribution was a distribution referred to in section 20(2) or if:
the distribution was made before the administrator had notice of an application for an order under this Act or notice of an application to extend the time within which such an application may be made under this Act; and
before making the distribution, the administrator had given notices in accordance with section 96 of the Administration and
Probate Act 1969 and the time specified in the notices or in the last of the notices for sending in claims had expired.
