EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This Note is not part of the Order.)

This Order, which applies to England and Wales, specifies the provisions of the Insolvency Act 1986 which apply to the administration in bankruptcy of the insolvent estates of deceased persons and the modifications to those provisions, including the modifications in Schedule 1.

It also specifies provisions where the estate of a deceased person is insolvent which apply to the administration otherwise than in bankruptcy of the estate to replace the provisions of section 34(1) of, and Part I of Schedule 1 to, the Administration of Estates Act 1925 (c.23), which were repealed by the Insolvency Act 1985 (c.65).

Where a debtor by or against whom a bankruptcy petition has been presented dies, the proceedings in the matter are, unless the court otherwise orders, continued as if he were alive but with the modifications in Schedule 2.
