(3) Subject to, and in accordance with, this Act and the administration (missing person) order, an administrator may do all acts and exercise all powers in relation to the financial matters specified in the order in the name, and on behalf, of the missing person as effectually and in the same manner as the missing person may have done if the missing person were not missing and had the relevant decision-making capacity. (4) A decision made, action taken, consent given or thing done by an administrator under a administration (missing person) order has effect as if it were made, taken, given or done by the missing person and the missing person were not missing and had the decision-making capacity for the matter in relation to which the order was made.
