The respondent’s father was properly nominated as heir to the disputed properties in 1995 according to family resolutions and customary law. The appellant, being married into another family and not divorced, was disqualified from inheriting her parents’ property under customary law. The Form Cs issued were invalid but did not affect the respondent’s inheritance, as his nomination as heir was established. The appellant failed to prove her claim for damages.

The return of service did not establish compliance with Rule 4 (1) and (5), creating doubt as to whether the applicant was served. The applicant has prospects of success as a customary heir, and the default judgment was set aside. The matter is to proceed to trial to determine the validity of the will and the capacity of the testator.
