represented person or has died an administrator may exercise all or any of the
powers given to the administrator by order of the Tribunal with respect to the
estate of the represented person.

represented person's legal personal representative (as the case may be) is

person by the administrator within the powers conferred on the administrator
by the Tribunal as if it had been done by the represented person and the
represented person had the legal capacity to do so.
