80C Effect of sealing
(1) If a probate or administration is sealed under section 80 (Reseal of
grant made in reciprocating jurisdiction)—
(a) the probate or administration has the same effect as if it had been
originally granted by the Supreme Court; and
(b) the person who applied under section 80 must exercise the same
functions, and is subject to the same liabilities, as if the person
had been originally granted the probate or administration by the
court.
(2) If an order to collect and administer an estate is sealed under
section 80, the person who applied under that section has the same
functions, and is subject to the same liabilities, as if the person was
the public trustee and guardian and the order was an order to collect
and administer the estate granted to the public trustee and guardian
under section 88.
