TREASURY SOLICITOR ACT 1876 - SECT 2

Grant of administration to Solicitor of Treasury.

2. Where, by reason of Her Majesty having become entitled in right of Her
Crown to the personal estate of an intestate or otherwise, any court has power
to grant administration of the personal estate of any deceased person to a
nominee of Her Majesty, and Her Majesty, by warrant under Her Royal Sign
Manual, is pleased to nominate for that purpose the Treasury Solicitor for the
time being, the court may grant such administration for the use of Her Majesty
to the Treasury Solicitor (by his official name) and his successors, or, if
the warrant so provide, to some person nominated in that behalf by the
Treasury Solicitor.

A royal warrant may nominate the Treasury Solicitor for the purposes of this
section, either in any particular case or class of cases, or in all cases, and
may limit such nomination to be during Her Majesty's pleasure, or during any
limited period or otherwise, as to Her Majesty may seem fit; and may, if to
Her Majesty seem fit, authorise the Treasury Solicitor to nominate some other
person to take out the administration in any particular case or class of
cases.

The administration so granted to the Treasury Solicitor, and the office of
administrator under such grant, and all the estate, rights, duties, and
liabilities of such administrator, shall, notwithstanding any change in the
person who is Treasury Solicitor, be vested in and imposed on the Treasury
Solicitor for the time being without any futher grant of administration.

Provided that nothing in this section shall affect any limitation, in duration
or otherwise, contained in the grant, or any right of any court to revoke such
grant.

...

Powers of Assistant Solicitor.
