(Amended 9 of 1993 s. 7)"

" (2) If and whenever any person shall be entitled to apply for letters of administration with the will of any testator annexed of the estate of such testator, it shall be lawful for such person, whether absent from Hong Kong or not, and notwithstanding the provisions of any other enactment, to authorize a trust company, either alone, or jointly with any other person, to apply to the court for a grant of letters of administration with the will annexed of the estate of such testator, and such grant may be made to the company upon its own application when so authorized, but the provisions of this section shall not apply to a case in which a will provides that a company shall not act as executor, or in the trusts thereof. (Amended 9 of 1993 s. 7)"
(3) 任何人如有權申請任何無遺囑者的遺產管理，則該人不論是否身 在香港，以及即使任何其他成文法則另有規定，亦可授權信託公司獨自或 聯同其他人向法院申請遺產管理書，而該名無遺囑者的遺產管理則可應如 此獲授權的公司的申請而如以上所述單獨授予該公司或授予該公司及其他 人。 (由1993年第9號第7條修訂)

(Amended 9 of 1993 s. 7)"
(4) 在處理就死者遺產而向法院作出的遺產管理書申請時，法院須將 如以上所述獲授權的信託公司，視為在 法律上與其他人或其他類別的人 士同樣有權申請及取得遺產管理書的授予，但據此而有權的信託公司不得 單憑該理由，而比無遺囑者的鰥夫﹑遺孀或最近親優先。
" (4) For the purposes of any application to the court for letters of administration to the estate of any deceased person, the court shall consider a trust company, when authorized as aforesaid, to be in law entitled, equally with any other person or class of persons to apply for and obtain a grant, but a trust company, being so entitled, shall not on that account alone, be preferred to the widower, widow, or next-of-kin of any intestate."
