EXPLANATORY NOTE
The Colonial Probates Act 1892 provides for the recognition by courts in the United Kingdom of Probates and Letters of Administration granted by courts in those countries or territories in the Commonwealth to which the Act has been applied by Order in Council.
This Order consolidates in one Order, taking account of constitutional and nominal changes, the provisions of previous Order applying the Act, except that it also applies the Act to the Australian Capital Territory, the British Antarctic Territory, the Falkland Islands Dependencies, the Northern Territory of Australia, Prince Edward Island and the Trust Territory of New Guinea and does not apply it to Western Samoa, the former Somaliland Protectorate (now part of Somalia) or the former Southern Cameroons (now part of the Republic of Cameroon).
