Public Trustee Act 1995

No person entering into a transaction with the Public Trustee for which the authority of the Court or SACAT is required is bound or entitled to require evidence that the authority has been given further than either (as the

Public Trustee considers appropriate)—

the order or an office copy of the order giving the authority;

or

a certificate executed by the Public Trustee certifying that the

Public Trustee has been given the authority.

The certificate referred to in subsection (1)(b) must include the following:

the date of the order giving the authority;

the court or tribunal that made the order;

the scope of the authority.

The certificate, order or office copy is, so far as all persons entering into any such transaction with the Public Trustee are concerned, conclusive evidence of the regularity of the transaction on the part of the

Public Trustee.

The receipts in writing of the Public Trustee for money payable under this Act are a sufficient discharge for the money to the persons paying it and they will not afterwards be liable for any misapplication of the money.
