ADMINISTRATION OF ESTATES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1955 - SECT 39

Right to follow property in hands of beneficiary.

39. Property which has been transferred or appropriated by
personal representatives to a person beneficially entitled thereto shall, so
long as it remains vested in that person, or in any person claiming under him
not being a purchaser in good faith and for value, continue to be liable to
answer the debts of the deceased person as it would have been liable if it had
remained vested in the personal representatives; and in the event of a sale or
mortgage thereof in good faith and for value by such person beneficially
entitled or by any person claiming under him not being a purchaser in good
faith and for value, he shall continue to be personally liable for such debts
to the extent to which such property was liable when vested in the personal
representative, but not beyond the value thereof.
