Section - 22 - Transfer by private executor or administrator to Administrator-General

(1) Any private executor or administrator may, with the previous consent of the Administrator-General by instrument in writing under his hand, notified in the Gazette, transfer the assets of the estate vested in him by virtue of the probate or letters to the Administrator-General by that name.

(2) As from the date of transfer, the transferor shall be exempt from all liability as executor or administrator, as the case may be, except in respect of acts or omissions done, or committed, before the date of transfer, and the Administrator-General shall have the same rights and be subject to the same liabilities as if probate or letters of administration, as the case may be, had been granted to him by that name at the date of transfer.
