LUNACY REGULATION (IRELAND) ACT 1871 - SECT 66

Expenses of improvements may be charged on estate.

66. Where it appears to [the High Court] to be for the lunatic's benefit, [it]
may order that the whole or any part of any moneys expended or to be expended
under [its] order for the permanent improvement, security, or advantage of the
land of the lunatic, or of any particular part thereof, shall, with interest,
be a charge upon and be raiseable out of the lunatic's estate and interest in
the land or such particular part thereof, as aforesaid, but so that no right
of sale or foreclosure during the lifetime of the lunatic be given or acquired
under or by virtue of the charge; and the interest shall be kept down during
the lunatic's lifetime, out of the income of his general estate, as far as the
same shall be sufficient to bear it; and the committee of the estate may and
shall, in the name and on behalf of the lunatic, execute and do all such
conveyances and things for effectuating this present provision as [the High
Court] shall order; and such charge may be made either to some person
advancing the money, or, if the money is paid out of the lunatic's general
property, to some person as a trustee for him, as part of his personal estate.
