be sealed with the seal of the High Court, and thereupon shall be of like
force and effect, and have the same operation in Samoa, and every
administrator thereunder shall perform the same duties and be subject
to the same liabilities as if an original grant of administration similar
in its effect had been made to him by the High Court.

  1. The seal of the High Court shall not be affixed to any administration granted elsewhere than in Samoa until all such duties and fees
    have been paid as would have been payable if an original grant of administration similar in its effect had been made by the High Court.

  2. Administration granted in any place out of Samoa shall not be received in evidence of the title of any person to any estate in Samoa until such administration is resealed in Samoa as hereinbefore provided.

  3. Before resealing letters of administration or any instrument having the effect of letters of administration the High Court shall be satisfied that such bond is entered into as would have been required if letters of administration to the effect of such instrument had been originally granted by the High Court, provided that where letters of administration are at any time granted in any place to the Samoan Public Trustee under the Samoa Public Trust Office Order, 1921, or the Public Trustee of New Zealand under the Public Trust Office Act, 1908 (New Zealand), or the Public Trustee of England under the Public Trustee Act, 1906 (Imperial), it shall not be necessary upon the resealing in Samoa of those letters of administration for any such bond to be executed.

  4. Rules of Court may be made for regulating the practice and procedure, including fees and costs in the High Court, on and incidental to an application for sealing an administration under these regulations, and such rules may impose the like requirements on any person applying for the resealing of an administration under these regulations as might be imposed upon such a person on his applying to the High Court for an original grant of probate or letters of administration.
