Guardianship and Administration Act 1995

Where the Tribunal has received information otherwise than from the administrator that a represented person has died or has ceased to be a represented person, the Tribunal must forthwith give notice of that fact to the administrator.

Unless the administrator knows that a person has ceased to be a represented person or has died, the administrator may exercise all or any of the powers given to the administrator by the Tribunal in respect of financial matters for the represented person.

On notice being given under subsection (1), the represented person or the represented person’s legal representative, as the case may be, is bound by and may take advantage of any act done on behalf of the represented person by the administrator within the powers conferred on the administrator by the Tribunal as if it had been done by the represented person and the represented person had legal capacity to do so.
