law: Powers of Attorney Act, 1882
  3. Payment by attorney under power, without notice of
  
  death, etc. good
  Any person making or doing any payment or act in good faith, in
  
  pursuance of a power-of-attorney, shall not be liable in respect of the payment
  
  or act by reason that, before the payment or act, the donor of the power had
  
  died or become 4[***] of unsound mind, 4[* * *] or insolvent, or had revoked
  
  the power, if the fact of death, 4[* * *] unsoundness of mind, 4[* * *]
  
  insolvency or revocation was not, at the time of the payment or act, known to
  
  the person making or doing the same.
  But this section shall not affect any right against the payee of
  
  any person interested in any money so paid; and that person shall have the like
  
  remedy against the payee as he would have had against the payer, if the payment
  
  had not been made by him.
  This section applies only to payments and acts made or done
  
  after this Act comes into force.
