When any person possessed of any lands, tenements or other property, or any estate or interest therein, as a trustee of any society, is out of the jurisdiction of or not amenable to the process of the Courts of the Islands, or of unsound mind, or it is unknown or uncertain whether he is living or dead; or if such person refuses to convey or otherwise assure such lands, tenements, hereditaments, property, estate or interest to the person duly nominated as trustee of such society in his stead, either alone or together with any continuing trustee, then a Judge of the Grand Court may appoint such person as to him shall seem fit, on behalf and in the name of the person seised or possessed, to convey, release, assign or otherwise assure the said lands, tenements, hereditaments, property, estate or interest to such trustee so nominated, and every such conveyance, release, assignment or assurance shall be as valid and effectual to all intents and purposes as if the person being out of the jurisdiction or not amenable to the process of the said Court, or not known to be alive, or having refused, had executed the same, or as if the person being of unsound mind had been, at the time of the execution thereof, of sane mind, memory and understanding, and had by himself executed the same.
