Section 27: Notification of entry in Register of Presumed Deaths

Amends the Presumption of Death Act (Northern Ireland) 2009 to: 1) give the Registrar General power to notify such persons as the Registrar General deems appropriate that an entry has been made in the Register of Presumed Deaths; 2) enable the Registrar General to impose conditions in relation to entries in the Register of Presumed Deaths that are notified to other persons.

These provisions will bring notification of information from the Register of Presumed Deaths into line with other registration records.
