Miss A.G. Cross, deceased
The records in my Probate Registry have been examined
from 1st January 1987 onwards to-date.
2.
I have received no application for resealing of a confirmation or for probate in respect of the above deceased.
3.
The "mechanism" described in paragraph 2 of the letter from Burns & Son is the procedure prescribed in the Probate and Administration Ordinance, Chapter 10 of the Laws of Hong Kong, Part IV, Sections 48 to 52.
4.
These provisions are mirrored in every Commonwealth country and provide for the reciprocal administration of estates in Commonwealth countries.
5+
The application of the provisions of Part IV is
a matter of routine in Hong Kong and despatched expeditiously unless there is some flaw in the application papers.
6.
I repeat that in the instant case I am not in a position to comment since I have received no application.

Acting Registrar
