236.Section 142 amends section 6 of the 1967 Act. It improves the rights of those who inherit leasehold houses. Where the deceased leaseholder qualified for the right to extend the lease and/or enfranchise at the time of death, personal representatives would be able to exercise those rights within two years of the grant of probate or letters of administration. It also makes a consequential amendment to Schedule 3 to the 1967 Act.
