The administratrices, being in a better position to know the heirs, and supported by family meeting minutes, are correct in excluding Nuru Sheni as an heir since she was divorced by the deceased about 20 years prior to his death. The objector failed to prove ownership of the Kipawa house, as her documents did not clearly establish title, and the true ownership remains unresolved.

The application for revocation of letters of administration lacks merit because the respondent's failure to file accounts was caused by applicants' obstruction, the property in dispute belonged to the deceased, the respondent is not a stranger and could be appointed by the court, and the issue with the surety bond is not fatal under the law.
