Edith Wanjovi v Eunice Kanyiva Misheck & another [2015] KEHC 1441 (KLR)

Facts

Eunice Kanyiva Misheck and Nancy Rwamba Nyaga, as protestors, applied to revoke the grant of letters of administration to Edith Wanjovi, who was the administrator. The protestors claimed the administrator had not taken any action for over two years to apply for a confirmation of the grant.

Issues

1. Revocation of letters of administration to Edith Wanjovi
2. Amendment of letters of administration to include protestors as co-administrators

Reasoning

The administrator failed to take reasonable steps to apply for confirmation of the grant, and the protestors have been granted the right to co-administer the estate.

Outcome

Grant of letters of administration revoked, and amendment of letters of administration to include protestors as co-administrators
