Trustee Companies Act 1968

Where any trustee company has, pursuant to any of the provisions of sections 12 and 13, filed an election to administer the estate of a deceased person, and the trustee company subsequently discovers that the election is invalid or ineffective by reason of the discovery of a will or a later will, or of the revocation or invalidity of a will, or for any other reason, then and in any such case the trustee company shall file in the registry of the Court in which the election to administer was filed a memorandum under the seal of the trustee company setting out the facts and certifying that the election already filed is invalid or ineffective.

Upon any such memorandum being filed, the election to administer previously filed shall cease to be of any effect whatsoever, and thereafter an application for administration may be made or a fresh election may be filed in all respects as if the election to administer previously filed had not been filed.
