So long as there is in force a declaration by the State Administrative Tribunal under section 64(1) that a person is in need of an administrator of his estate, that person is —

incapable of entering into any contract or making any disposition in respect of his estate or any part thereof or interest therein; or

subject to Part 9, appointing or conferring any power on an agent or attorney in respect thereof,

Any money or property the subject of an attempted dealing by a represented person contrary to subsection (1) may be recovered by the administrator in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Nothing in this section affects —

any contract for necessaries entered into by a represented person; or

any contract or disposition by a represented person made for adequate consideration with, or in favour of, any other person who proves that he acted in good faith and was unaware that that person was a represented person; or

anything done under a power of attorney by a person who proves that he acted in good faith and was unaware that the donor of the power was a represented person.

Nothing in this section affects any legal incapacity attaching to a represented person by reason of infancy.

For the purpose of this section the acceptance of payment of the whole or any part of a debt shall be deemed to be a disposition in respect of the estate.
