8 Power of person entitled to probate to authorize trustee company to obtain probate

*[Section 8 Amended by No. 64 of 1985, s. 7 ]*A person who is named expressly or by implication as the executor of the will of a deceased person and who would be entitled to obtain in Tasmania probate of the will without reserving leave to any other person to apply for probate may, instead of himself applying for probate, authorize a trustee company to apply to the Court for administration with the will annexed; and administration with the will annexed may be granted to the trustee company, upon its own application, when so authorized, unless the testator has, by his will, expressed his desire that the office of executor should not be delegated or that a trustee company should not act in the trusts of his will.
