The application lacks merit and is dismissed with costs.

Facts

The deceased, Charles Waruingi Kimani, died in 1999. His 2nd wife, Alice Nduta Kimani, petitioned for the Grant of Letters to Administer the Estate. The Grant was issued to Charles and Alice, and the estate was distributed accordingly. Six years later, Charles applied to revoke the Grant on various grounds.

Issues

  1. Defects in the proceedings
  2. Fraudulent acquisition of the Grant
  3. Concealment of material facts
  4. Forgery of Charles' signature
  5. Transfer of KIAMBAA/THIMBIGUA/3400

Reasoning

The application is dismissed as Charles has not made out a sufficient cause to warrant the orders sought. The agreement between Alice and Charles is clear and supported by witnesses.

Outcome

Application dismissed
