the court may order that such reasonable provision as the court thinks fit shall, subject to such conditions or restriction, if any as the court may impose, be made out of the deceased’s estate for the maintenance of that dependent relative. (2) The provision for maintenance to be made by an order under subsection (1) of this section shall, (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (3) of this section, be where the deceased’s estate produces an income, by way of periodical payments and such order shall provide for their termination not later, (i) In the case of a wife or husband, her or his re-marriage; (ii) in the case of a daughter who has not been married, or who is by reason of some mental or physical disability, incapable of maintaining herself, her marriage or the cessation of her disability, whichever is the later. (iii) In the case of an infant son or a son who is, by reason of some mental or physical disability, incapable of maintaining himself, his attaining the age of twenty-one or the cessation of his disability, whichever is the later; (iv) In the case of the other dependent relative, his attaining the age of twenty-one, or in any case his or her death; or (b) Where the deceased’s estate does not produce any income or sufficient income, authorize the applicant to receive such share, as the applicant would be entitled to in the distribution of the estate of an intestate under section 28 of this Act. (3) The court may, if it sees fit, make an order providing for maintenance, in whole or in part, by way of a lump sum payment. (4) In determining whether and in what way, and as from what date, provision for maintenance ought to be made by an order, the court shall have regard to the nature of the property representing the deceased’s estate and shall not order any such provision to be made as would necessitate a realization that would be improvident having regard to the interests of the deceased’s dependants and of the persons who, apart from the order, would be entitled to that property. (5) The court shall, on any application made under this section, (a) Have regard, (i) The any past, present or future capital or income from any source of the dependant of the deceased to whom the application relates; (ii) To the conduct of that dependant in relation to the deceased and otherwise; and (iii) To any other matter or thing which in the circumstances of the case the court may consider relevant or material
