subsection (2) without making such an election:
 (a) if the person leaves a widow or widower—the widow or widower may make such an election within twenty‑one days after the date of the death of the person; or
 (b) if the person does not leave a widow or widower, or the widow or widower dies within the period referred to in paragraph (a) without making such an election, but there is an eligible child of the person or an eligible child of the widow or widower—such an election may be made within that period by such person as the Board permits;
and, in that case, this Act has effect as if the election had been made by the first‑mentioned person but subsection (4) does not apply.
