273: Using probate obtained by forgery or perjury
or “This law, which was about using fake or dishonest documents to handle someone's money after they die, is no longer in effect.”
You could also call this:

“This used to be about making things that help people copy money or important papers, but it's not a rule anymore.”

This section of the law, called ‘Paper or implements for forgery’, used to be part of the Crimes Act 1961. However, it no longer exists. The government removed it on 1 October 2003. If you want to know more about why it was removed, you can look at section 15 of the Crimes Amendment Act 2003.
