Certificate of Public Trustee to be accepted as evidence
69 Certificate of Public Trustee to be accepted as evidence
A certificate sealed by the Public Trustee certifying the nature of his appointment in relation to any estate, and any facts on the happening of which such appointment was made, shall be accepted by all courts, officers, and other persons as sufficient evidence of all the facts therein set forth, without production of any other proof whatever.
Such certificate shall be sufficient for the purpose of registering the Public Trustee as proprietor of any shares, stock, or property in any company, body, or association, or of any estate or interest in any land under the Land Titles Act 1980, or of bringing any land under that Act, and may be registered against such land as in the case of probate or letters of administration, and shall have the same force and effect.
Such certificate shall be equivalent, for registration purposes under any Act, to probate or letters of administration, and it shall not be necessary to register such probate or letters of administration.
