Regulation 88 Payments under grant of representation in relation to bonds and certificatesI1

In the event of the death of the holder of a bond, a certificate, or a children’s certificate, the production of probate or letters of administration (or of a certified copy) granted, or having effect as if granted, in relation to personal estate including those things by a court in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands, is sufficient authority for the Director of Savings to pay the amount repayable (or any other amount payable), or make a transfer (if applicable) for the purposes of these Regulations, to the person to whom the grant was made, or as directed by that person.

Where a payment or transfer is made under this Regulation, the payment or transfer shall, despite the invalidity of, or any defect in, the probate or letters of administration, be deemed to have been lawfully made.
