Holding
The 3rd house (that of the protesters) is not represented in the administration of the estate.
Facts
The deceased left an estate consisting of land and shares in six companies/co-operatives. The estate has one surviving widow and eight sons. The petitioners are the joint administrators appointed by the court. The 1st and 2nd protesters are the younger sons who claim to have been given half-acre portions of land.
Issues
- Whether the 3rd house (that of the protesters) should be represented in the administration of the estate.
- The identification of shares for the beneficiaries.
Reasoning
The court found that the 3rd house was not part of the estate as it was not given to any of the deceased's sons during his lifetime.
Outcome
The petitioners' application for confirmation of the distribution of assets is granted.
Orders
- The 3rd house is not represented in the administration of the estate.
