79 Surviving spouse or de facto partner under a legal disability
(1) Where the spouse or de facto partner of an intestate is a person
under a disability, other than an infant, a requirement or consent
under this Division may be made or given on his or her behalf by
his or her guardian, if any, or, where there is no such guardian, by
the Court.
(2) A requirement of consent made or given under this Division by a
surviving spouse or de facto partner who is an infant is as valid as it
would be if he or she had attained the age of 18 years.
