Registering personal representative
377 Registering personal representative
(1) A person may apply to the registrar of titles to be registered as personal
representative of a deceased lessee, sublessee, licensee or mortgagee.
(2)
The registrar of titles may register the person as personal representative
only if— (a) the person has obtained— (i) a grant of representation in
Queensland; or
(ii) the resealing in Queensland of a grant of representation;
or
(b) if paragraph (a) does not apply and the lessee, sublessee, licensee or
mortgagee died without a will— (i) letters of administration of the deceased
person’s estate have not been granted in Queensland within 6 months after
the death; and
(ii) the gross value of the deceased person’s Queensland
estate at the day of death was no more than the amount prescribed under the
regulations or, if no amount is prescribed, $300,000; and
(iii) the registrar
is of the opinion the person would succeed in an application for a grant of
representation; or
(c) if paragraph (a) does not apply and the lessee,
sublessee or licensee died leaving a will— (i) the person is, or is entitled
to be, the deceased’s personal representative; or
(ii) the registrar
considers the person would succeed in an application for a grant of
representation; or
(iii) the person has obtained a grant of representation
other than in Queensland and the registrar considers the person would succeed
in an application for the resealing of the grant in Queensland.
(3) A person
registered as personal representative without a grant of representation has
the same rights, powers and liabilities as if a grant of representation had
been made to the person.
(4) The validity of an act done or payment made in
good faith by a person registered as personal representative is not affected
by a later grant of representation.
(5) If the grantee of a grant of
representation is different from the person registered as personal
representative, the person must— (a) account to the grantee for all property
of the deceased person controlled by the person before the grant; and
(b)
take all action necessary to divest from the person and vest in the grantee
all property of the deceased person remaining under the person’s control.
