The Official Trustee may, at any time, require such evidence as he may think sufficient that a person is alive and is the person to whom any money or property is payable or transferable and may refuse payment or transfer untill such evidence is produced.
20. Procedure when person entitled cannot be found-When a person appearing to be beneficially entitled to any sum of money under a trust in the hands of the Official Trustee or to be interested in the trust property cannot be found, or it is not known whether he is living or dead, the Official Trustee may apply to the High Court for directions as to the course to be taken with reference to such person and until an Order of the High Court is made shall retain any sum payable to such person; and may invest the same in Government securities and accumulate the interest thereof, subject to the provisions of section 23.
