Section 98

Notwithstanding the existence of any law empowering less than the full number of personal representatives to deal with the estate of a deceased person, the Registrar shall not register any dealing pursuant to section 97 nor any transmission application made by less than the full number of personal representatives then living:Provided that, where in a grant of probate leave has been reserved to one or more executors to come in and prove, the Registrar shall not be concerned to inquire whether double probate has been granted.

An executor who has neglected to become registered as proprietor after obtaining a grant of double probate may nevertheless join in or consent to instruments executed by his co-executors.[94
