Guardianship and Administration Act 2000

If necessary or convenient for the exercise of power given to a guardian or administrator (the appointee), the appointee may—

execute an instrument with the appointee’s own signature or, if sealing is required or used, with the appointee’s own seal; and

do any other thing in the appointee’s own name.

An instrument executed by an appointee must be executed in a way showing the appointee executes it as guardian or administrator for the adult.

An instrument executed, or thing done, in the way mentioned in this section is as effective as if executed or done by the adult—

with the adult’s signature; or

with the adult’s signature and seal; or

in the adult’s name.

This section applies subject to the Property Law Act 2023, section 52.
