(e)subject to the said provisions, be deemed (unless a contrary intention appears therein) for all purposes necessary to establish the title of the person entitled to intervening rents and profits, to relate back to the date of the death of the deceased person so, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall operate to enable any person to establish a title inconsistent with the will of the deceased person.
(2)Any person in whose favour an assent or conveyance of any unregistered land is made by personal representatives may at his own expense require the personal representatives to register that assent or conveyance in the Registry of Deeds pursuant to the Registration of Deeds Acts.
(3)An assent or conveyance of unregistered land by a personal representative shall, in favour of a purchaser, be taken as sufficient evidence that the person in whose favour the assent or conveyance is given or made is the person who was entitled to have the estate or interest to which the assent relates vested in him but shall not otherwise prejudicially affect the claim of any person originally entitled to that estate or interest or to any charge or encumbrance thereon.
