The court found that while the respondent had distributed a substantial part of the estate, there remained unresolved issues regarding the undistributed portion, primarily due to some beneficiaries not executing necessary conveyancing documents. The court was not persuaded that the respondent had wholly failed or neglected his duties, but recognized the need to address the applicants' concerns to facilitate the winding up of the estate. The court determined that appointing one of the applicants as a joint administrator with the respondent would ensure transparency and expedite the completion of the administration. Consequently, the grant previously issued to the respondent was revoked, and a new joint grant was ordered to be issued to both Johnson Ndung’u Gitau and Geoffrey Gitau Ng’ang’a, confirmed on the same terms as the previous grant.
