This Act makes provision for the management of estates of a person who disappears without making provision for the administration of his or her estate. Relatives may apply to court for an order which appoints a manager for the estate of the missing person. The Act also makes provision for matters relating to administration and management of the estates such as powers of the manager and control of its operation, appointment of agents and intervention by the Administrator General.
