In re Estate of Vasta (Deceased)
In re Estate of Vasta (Deceased) (Succession Cause E084 of 2022) [2026] KEMC 812 (KLR) (27 August 2026) (Ruling)
The court held that the applicant had produced sufficient documentary proof that the additional immovable properties belonged to the deceased and could be added to the estate, but their distribution could not be automatically extended from the prior confirmation order absent fresh distribution proposals and consents. As to Rita Construction, only the deceased's ascertainable share or beneficial interest could be treated as estate property, and the extent of that interest had first to be proved before distribution.
