These regulations, which come into force on 24 September 2025, amend the Administration (Prescribed Amounts) Regulations 2009 (the principal regulations). Section 65(2) of the Administration Act 1969 (the Act) provides that certain entities (for example, superannuation funds and banks) may pay money from a deceased person’s estate to certain relatives without grants of administration if the amount does not exceed a prescribed amount. Section 65(5) of the Act provides that insurers may pay money to a deceased person’s estate without grants of administration if the amount does not exceed a prescribed amount. The prescribed amounts are set in the principal regulations. The amendments increase the prescribed amount, in each case, from $15,000 to $40,000.
