| 单词 | Official administrator |
| 释义 | 遺產管理官 The body in which property of a deceased estate may vest during the gap between the date of death and the issue of the grant of representation on a full or limited basis according to the jurisdiction. The office of Official Administrator is held ex officio by the Registrar of the court and any deputy or assistant registrar of the court: Probate and Administration Ordinance (Cap 10) s 9(1). The office of Official Administrator in Hong Kong has some analogy to the office of Public Trustee in England but the powers of the latter are considerably wider: Yau Lam (an infant) v Yeung Wai Hong (dec’d) [1964] HKLR 157. It functions are various, and include (1) to be the vesting body for intestate estates in Hong Kong until administration is granted; (2) to take interim possession of movable property in Hong Kong of deceased foreign nationals and provide for the safe custody of it until probate of the deceased’s will or a grant of administration has been made; and (3) to exercise summary administration of estates not exceeding HK$150,000 in value, without any legal formality, for the benefit of the persons he may deem interested in the estate: Probate and Administration Ordinance (Cap 10) ss 10, 12, 15. See also Executor; Personal legal representative; Trustee corporation; Vest. |
