SUCCESSION DUTIES ACT 1929 - SECT 10

10—Property derived from a deceased person

        (1)         For the purposes of this Act property shall be deemed to be derived from a deceased person

            (a)         if a title thereto is conferred beneficially upon any person either immediately or after any interval, either certainly or contingently, and either originally or by way of substitutive limitation by the will of the deceased person or by devolution of law consequent on the death of the said person:

            (b)         if the title thereto consists, wholly or in part, of any non-testamentary disposition of property, including therein any debt, covenant, bond, obligation, mortgage, encumbrance, or engagement made, incurred, given, created, or entered into by the deceased person during his lifetime, otherwise than before and in consideration of marriage, or for full consideration in money or money's worth wholly for the benefit of the said deceased person, to the extent of any property which the administrator of the said deceased person is bound to transfer, convey, deliver, or pay in satisfaction of the said disposition, unless the same property so deemed to be derived from the deceased person is otherwise liable to duty under this Act.

        (2)         Where under any disposition of property taking effect upon the death of any person, any person has a general power of appointment over property, he shall, in the event of his making any appointment thereunder, be deemed to be entitled at the time of the death to the property or interest thereby appointed as a succession derived from the donor of the power.
