The deceased's will is invalid and unenforceable due to omission of heirs born after its execution without explicit grounds for exclusion; intestacy rules must apply.
Source excerpt
The High Court at Arusha held that the deceased’s 2002 will was invalid, declined probate, and left the land ownership dispute to the Land Court.
The Respondent failed to file an inventory as ordered by the court and excluded the Applicant, a lawful heir, from the distribution of the estate. This failure constitutes a ground for revocation of the letters of administration under section 49(1)(e) of the Probate and Administration of Estates Act. There was insufficient evidence of fraud, but the Respondent's non-compliance with statutory duties and court orders rendered her appointment useless and inoperative.
