ESPERANCE PORT AUTHORITY (DEBENTURES AND INSCRIBED STOCK) REGULATIONS 1969 - REG 23

23 .         Power of Registrar to dispense with production or re-sealing of probate

        (1)         Where a person dies leaving any stock of an amount not exceeding four hundred dollars the Port Authority may, on being satisfied that all duty payable in respect thereof under the provisions of the Administration Act 1903 (as amended), has been paid or that no such duty is payable in respect thereof, dispense with the production of probate of the will or letters of administration of the estate as required by regulation 21 of these regulations and may authorise the transmission of the stock to such person or persons as appear to the satisfaction of the Port Authority to be lawfully entitled thereto.

        (2)         No person shall have any claim against the Port Authority in respect of any transmission in pursuance of this regulation, but nothing in this regulation shall relieve the person or persons to whom the stock is transmitted from any liability to account for or deal with the stock as required by law.

        (3)         A person is not required to re-seal in this State any probate of a will or letters of administration of an estate in order that a transmission of stock may be registered under these regulations if, in respect of the stock, the probate or letters of administration is or are produced to the Registrar together with the certificate of the Commissioner of Probate Duties of this State that no duty is payable under the Administration Act 1903 (as amended), or his receipt evidencing that all duty payable under that Act has been paid.
