When Kityo passed away 8 years ago, his 4 wives were jointly put in charge of his property by the court. They agreed to give it 7 years before selling anything. Last year they agreed to sell some property to take the children back to school, but one of the wives was knocked and died on the spot. Her children say that they cannot allow the remaining ones to do unless a replacement is appointed by court.
CAN THE OTHER WIVES CONTINUE THE SALE?
The law of succession in Uganda says that when one or more people who were appointed to manage the property of a deceased person also dies, and there are those who survived, then all the authority they got from court remains with those survivors. This means that the remaining wives of Kityo can continue with the sale and distribution of their late husband’s property even if one of the wives has also passed away.
