Abstract
Puts the case for reform of the law to allow for the administration of the estate of a missing person in the interim period between their disappearance and any later declaration of their presumed of death. Explains why reform is needed. Notes Parliamentary activities relating to the presumption of death and interim administration in the period 2008-12. Highlights Australian and Canadian legislation providing for such interim administration and the Irish Law Commission recommendations for a statutory scheme on administering a missing person's property.
