This is a technical change and deals with the disposal of property. These sections of the Bill refer to wills made before or after the coming into operation of the Act. They address the issue that recognition of a person's preferred gender should have an impact on the distribution of property under wills or other instruments. If a will made after the legislation comes into effect refers to the eldest daughter, and a person who was previously a son becomes the eldest daughter following recognition of the preferred gender of that person, the person will inherit as the eldest daughter.
