Court
TZHC

The affidavit submitted by the petitioner did not comply with Rule 63(3) of the Probate Rules, as it was not from a person who witnessed the interment or cremation, nor from a duly registered medical practitioner in the country where the deceased died; thus, the petition is incompetent.

Probate 4

4

Court
TANZLII

The Applicant failed to prove that the proceedings leading to the grant of probate to the Respondent were defective in substance. The will was properly propounded, the Respondent complied with legal requirements, and the absence of a certificate of death was sufficiently explained by affidavit. The existence of a prior grant to the Applicant, which was subsequently revoked, does not render the Respondent's grant defective. The application for revocation is without merit and is dismissed.
