A married woman is able to acquire as well from her husband as from any other person, and hold, any interest in property real or personal either solely or jointly with any other person (whether or not including her husband) as a trustee or personal representative, in like manner as if she were a feme sole; and no interest in such property shall vest or be deemed to have vested in the husband by reason only of the acquisition by his wife.
A married woman is able, without her husband, to dispose of, or to join in disposing of, any interest in real or personal property held by her solely or jointly with any other person (whether or not including her husband) as trustee or personal representative, in like manner as if she were a feme sole.
This section applies to a woman married after the thirty-first day of December, eighteen hundred and eighty-two, and to a woman married before the first day of January, eighteen hundred and eighty-three, who became a trustee or personal representative on or after that date.
This section operates to render valid and confirm all such acquisitions and dispositions made after the thirty-first day of December, eighteen hundred and eighty-two, whether before or after the commencement of this Act, but where any title or right has been acquired through or with the concurrence of the husband before the first day of January, nineteen hundred and eight, that title or right shall prevail over any title or right which would otherwise be rendered valid by this section or any enactment which it replaces.
This section does not prejudicially affect any beneficial interest of the husband of any such woman.
