Distribution of sum payable on death.

22.--(1) On the death of the deceased person any sum payable on death may be paid or distributed by the Minister without probate or other proof of the title of his personal representatives but nothing in this Regulation shall authorise the Minister, where he has not already made payment of the sum payable on the death of the deceased person to refuse payment of such sum to any person entitled thereto who produces probate or other proof of title.

(b) In the case of the illegitimacy of the deceased person or of his children such person as in the opinion of the Minister would have been entitled to the sum payable on death if the deceased person or his children had been legitimate may for the purposes of this paragraph be treated as a person beneficially entitled thereto.

(4) The receipt of any person of the age of 16 years or upwards for any sum paid in accordance with these Regulations shall be a good discharge to the Minister for the sum so paid.

(5) Where any person who is a child under the age of 16 years is entitled to receive any sum payable on death in accordance with the provisions of these Regulations and it is proved to the satisfaction of the Minister that the sum is needed for the benefit of such child, the Minister may pay the sum or any part thereof to any person who may satisfy him that the person will apply such money for the benefit of such child, and the receipt of such person shall be a good discharge to the Minister for the amount so paid.
