Hong Kong Ordinances

PROBATE AND ADMINISTRATION ORDINANCE - SECT 49

Sealing of grants by Courts outside Hong Kong

(Past version on 30/06/1997).

Due to technical constraints, sections 49A, 49AA and 49AB of this Ordinance
are placed after section 49 in the BLIS system. The correct sequence of the
sections should be "49, 49AA, 49AB, 49A". Where a court of probate in a
designated country or place has granted probate or letters of administration
in respect of the estate of a deceased person, the probate or letters so
granted may, on being produced to, and a copy thereof deposited with, the
court, be sealed with the seal of the court, and thereupon shall be of the
like force and effect, and have the same operation in Hong Kong as if granted
by that court. (Amended 67 of 1999 s. 3)
